A top price for Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg
When the work A wooded landscape with two monkeys eating grapes by Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 116,500.00 (€ 148,753.67). This high result makes A wooded landscape with two monkeys eating grapes the most expensive artwork by Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg
Als die Arbeit A wooded landscape with two monkeys eating grapes von Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg im Oktober 2014 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 116.500,00 (€ 148.753,67) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A wooded landscape with two monkeys eating grapes zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
