Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Nicolas de Largillière achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in June 2020. In the Old Masters auction, the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Said To Be The Chamberlain De Montargu, Half-Length, Wearing A Breastplate Over A Red Velvet Jacket With Gold Embroidered Sleeves sold for USD 47,500.00 (€ 42,293.65) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicolas de Largillière achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La belle Strasbourgeoise in September 2020 with an auction result of EUR 1,570,000.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Nicolas de Largillière erzielte im Juni 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Said To Be The Chamberlain De Montargu, Half-Length, Wearing A Breastplate Over A Red Velvet Jacket With Gold Embroidered Sleeves für USD 47.500,00 (€ 42.293,65) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicolas de Largillière erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La belle Strasbourgeoise im September 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 1.570.000,00.
