Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Saint Philip Baptizing the Eunuch of the Queen of Ethiopia by Théodore Chassériau was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Christies in New York in April 2013. Here, the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 62,500.00 (€ 47,463.55). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Théodore Chassériau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Diane Surprise Par Actéon in June 2006 with an auction result of EUR 538,400.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Saint Philip Baptizing the Eunuch of the Queen of Ethiopia von Théodore Chassériau wurde im April 2013 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 62.500,00 (€ 47.463,55) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Théodore Chassériau erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Diane Surprise Par Actéon im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 538.400,00.
