This artwork by Nicolas François Dun achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2019. In the The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures Part II auction, the work A Pair Of Portraits Of Two Sisters, Circa 1810 sold for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 3,842.77) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nicolas François Dun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A young lady, wearing silver tasselled bright blue scarf in her brown curling hair, facing right in white dress, cameo brooch pinned at corsage, red and blue bordered white stole draped around her shoulders, which sold at auction in November 2001 for GBP 8,812.50 (€ 14,023.46).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 94 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Nicolas François Dun erzielte im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures Part II wurde die Arbeit A Pair Of Portraits Of Two Sisters, Circa 1810 für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 3.842,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.800,00.
