Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Pierre Rouvier achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2020. In the Old Master and British Works on Paper, including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection auction, the work Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Madame le Génerale D'Hautville, née Prévost, circa 1785 sold for GBP 3,780.00 (€ 4,222.60) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. 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).
