Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A double-sided miniature of a lady and gentleman: she, facing right in white dress bordered with blue ribbon tied in a bow at corsage, powdered upswept hair; seated in a red upholstered giltwood chair at an easel; and he, facing right in blue/green b by Pierre Rouvier was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2000. The price achieved of GBP 2,937.50 (€ 4,713.60) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pierre Rouvier - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unknown, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,594.71).
