Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Lot's wife looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by Toussaint Dubreuil was sold in the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction at Christies in New York in January 2004. The price achieved of USD 4,541.00 (€ 3,646.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Toussaint Dubreuil achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mars enthroned, wearing a plumed helmet and holding a spear (recto); A male nude playing a viola da gamba (verso) in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 91,250.00 (€ 109,717.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Lot's wife looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah von Toussaint Dubreuil wurde im Januar 2004 in der Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.541,00 (€ 3.646,80) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Toussaint Dubreuil erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mars enthroned, wearing a plumed helmet and holding a spear (recto); A male nude playing a viola da gamba (verso) im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 91.250,00 (€ 109.717,84).
