Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Christies in London held the auction British & European Art: European Art, which included the work Sainte Amélie, Reine de Hongrie by Paul Delaroche. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 33,750.00 (€ 37,055.26) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Paul Delaroche have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Napoleon at Fontainebleau, 31 March 1814 in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 335,529.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion British & European Art: European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sainte Amélie, Reine de Hongrie von Paul Delaroche zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 33.750,00 (€ 37.055,26) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Paul Delaroche auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Napoleon at Fontainebleau, 31 March 1814 im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 289.250,00 (€ 335.529,13).
