Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2002 Christies in London held the auction OLD MASTER AND 19TH CENTURY DRAWINGS, which included the work Thetis attended by Nereids (recto) by Pierre Brébiette. The price achieved of GBP 11,352.50 (€ 18,107.68) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pierre Brébiette - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Deux Vertus Se Donnant L'Accolade Devant Un Soldat Nain, which sold at auction in March 2009 for EUR 56,302.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion OLD MASTER AND 19TH CENTURY DRAWINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Thetis attended by Nereids (recto) von Pierre Brébiette zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 11.352,50 (€ 18.107,68) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Pierre Brébiette mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Deux Vertus Se Donnant L'Accolade Devant Un Soldat Nain beobachtet, die im März 2009 für EUR 56.302,00 versteigert wurde.
