Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Lawrence Alma-Tadema achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2019. In the British Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work Faust and Marguerite, Opus VII sold for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,250.89) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lawrence Alma-Tadema achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British the Finding Of Moses in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 35,922,500.00 (€ 27,556,382.33).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Lawrence Alma-Tadema erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art wurde die Arbeit Faust and Marguerite, Opus VII für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.250,89) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lawrence Alma-Tadema erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British the Finding Of Moses im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.922.500,00 (€ 27.556.382,33).
