Pierre Joseph Dedreux-Dorcy (FRENCH, 1789-1874)
Portrait of a girl with flowers in her hair
signed and dated 'Dorcy/1847.' (lower right)
oil on canvas
22 x 18¼ in. (55.9 x 46.4 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait of a girl with flowers in her hair by Pierre Joseph Dedreux-Dorcy was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 4,560.00 (€ 3,446.71). Admittedly, works by Pierre Joseph Dedreux-Dorcy have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Du Comte Charles De Mornay in November 2012 with an auction result of EUR 25,741.00.

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait of a girl with flowers in her hair von Pierre Joseph Dedreux-Dorcy im Februar 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 4.560,00 (€ 3.446,71) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Pierre Joseph Dedreux-Dorcy auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Du Comte Charles De Mornay im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 25.741,00.
