Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Pierre-Paul Prud'Hon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2019. In the Old Master Prints auction, the work Phrosine et Mélidore sold for GBP 3,125.00 (€ 3,693.38) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pierre-Paul Prud'Hon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Madame Péan De Saint-Gilles in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 456,000.00 (€ 350,823.20).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Pierre-Paul Prud'Hon erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Prints wurde die Arbeit Phrosine et Mélidore für GBP 3.125,00 (€ 3.693,38) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pierre-Paul Prud'Hon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Madame Péan De Saint-Gilles im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 456.000,00 (€ 350.823,20).
