Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Fritillaria Latifolia by Pierre-Joseph Redouté was sold in the Old Masters Online auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. It achieved a price of USD 11,250.00 (€ 10,090.59), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pierre-Joseph Redouté achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Elaborate Still Life Of Flowers In A Glass Vase Resting On An Alabaster Pedestal With A Bird Nest And A Melon Below in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 2,504,000.00 (€ 1,926,450.22).

Die Arbeit Fritillaria Latifolia von Pierre-Joseph Redouté wurde im Mai 2019 in der Auktion Old Masters Online bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 11.250,00 (€ 10.090,59) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pierre-Joseph Redouté erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Elaborate Still Life Of Flowers In A Glass Vase Resting On An Alabaster Pedestal With A Bird Nest And A Melon Below im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.504.000,00 (€ 1.926.450,22).
