Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A gentleman in profile to the left, in jacket with large collar, waistcoat and frilled cravat, hair en queue; and two putti with laurel crowns beside a plaque with initials DJB and a burning altar inscribed 'A L'AMITÉ' by Piat Joseph Sauvage was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2002. The price achieved of GBP 956.00 (€ 1,497.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Piat Joseph Sauvage achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Venus And Cupid in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 93,750.00 (€ 80,334.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A gentleman in profile to the left, in jacket with large collar, waistcoat and frilled cravat, hair en queue; and two putti with laurel crowns beside a plaque with initials DJB and a burning altar inscribed 'A L'AMITÉ' von Piat Joseph Sauvage kam im Mai 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 956,00 (€ 1.497,11) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Piat Joseph Sauvage erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Venus And Cupid im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 93.750,00 (€ 80.334,19).
