Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist by Nicolas Mignard was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 55,250.00 (€ 62,221.02). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nicolas Mignard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Venus And Adonis, which sold at auction in January 2014 for USD 233,000.00 (€ 172,592.59).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist von Nicolas Mignard im April 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 55.250,00 (€ 62.221,02) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Nicolas Mignard mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Venus And Adonis beobachtet, die im Januar 2014 für USD 233.000,00 (€ 172.592,59) versteigert wurde.
