In December 2008 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Pictures (Day Sale), which included the work Portrait of a lady, half-length, seated at a piano, in a green mantle à la grecque, holding a harp by Robert-Jacques-François Lefevre. The result of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 15,754.36) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert-Jacques-François Lefevre - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Les Callipyges Grecques, which sold at auction in April 2014 for EUR 49,500.00.
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Pictures (Day Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, half-length, seated at a piano, in a green mantle à la grecque, holding a harp von Robert-Jacques-François Lefevre zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 15.754,36) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert-Jacques-François Lefevre mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Les Callipyges Grecques beobachtet, die im April 2014 für EUR 49.500,00 versteigert wurde.
