A top price for Pierre-Étienne Falconet - as previously expected
In July 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings, which included the work A Young Girl Holding An Apple by Pierre-Étienne Falconet. The result of GBP 4,000.00 (€ 5,670.66) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Young Girl Holding An Apple is the most expensive artwork by Pierre-Étienne Falconet that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Young Girl Holding An Apple von Pierre-Étienne Falconet zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 4.000,00 (€ 5.670,66) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Young Girl Holding An Apple das teuerste Kunstwerk von Pierre-Étienne Falconet, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
