Auction result well in line with expectations
The work View of a harbour with fishermen hauling up nets, and a watchtower on a promontory by Pierre-Jacques Volaire was sold in the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction at Christies in London in July 2007. The price achieved of GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,346.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pierre-Jacques Volaire achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vesuvius erupting at night seen from the foothills, with elegant onlookers, a view of the Bay of Naples beyond in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 142,400.00 (€ 206,549.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit View of a harbour with fishermen hauling up nets, and a watchtower on a promontory von Pierre-Jacques Volaire wurde im Juli 2007 in der Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.600,00 (€ 5.346,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pierre-Jacques Volaire erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Vesuvius erupting at night seen from the foothills, with elegant onlookers, a view of the Bay of Naples beyond im Juli 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 142.400,00 (€ 206.549,86).
