A top price for Robert Lefèvre
In May 2014 Christies in London held the auction The Raglan Collection: Wellington, Waterloo and The Crimea And Works of Art from the Collection of the Marquesses of Londonderry, which included the work Portrait of Emperor Napoleon (1769-1821), half-length, as Colonel of the Foot Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard, wearing the cross and Grand Eagle of the Légion d'Honneur, in a painted oval by Robert Lefèvre. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 122,500.00 (€ 150,556.45). With this result, Portrait of Emperor Napoleon (1769-1821), half-length, as Colonel of the Foot Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard, wearing the cross and Grand Eagle of the Légion d'Honneur, in a painted oval is even the most expensive work of art by Robert Lefèvre that we have observed at auctions so far.
