Raja Ravi Varma (1848 - 1906)
Maliyali Beauty
Oil on canvas
23 11/16 x 17 5/16 in. (60 x 44 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 87 %.

This artwork by Raja Ravi Varma achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2004. In the Indian and Southeast Asian Art Including 20th Century Indian auction, the work Maliyali Beauty sold for USD 130,700.00 (€ 105,258.92) - well above the upper estimate of USD 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Raja Ravi Varma achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Damayanti) in March 2017 with an auction result of USD 1,692,500.00 (€ 1,582,071.42).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 87 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Raja Ravi Varma erzielte im September 2004 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Indian and Southeast Asian Art Including 20th Century Indian wurde die Arbeit Maliyali Beauty für USD 130.700,00 (€ 105.258,92) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Raja Ravi Varma erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Damayanti) im März 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.692.500,00 (€ 1.582.071,42).
