Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a lady, circa 1775 by Pierre Adolphe Hall was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2020. The price achieved of GBP 1,512.00 (€ 1,689.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pierre Adolphe Hall achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait De Dominique Vivant Denon (1747-1825), 1786 in June 2010 with an auction result of EUR 73,000.00.
