Augustin Pajou

A sleeping beggar

Found at Christies, London
Master Drawings from the Oppé Collection, Lot 83
5. Dec - 5. Dec 2006
Estimate: 1.500 - 2.000 GBP
Price realised: 4.200 GBP
Augustin Pajou (Paris 1730-1809)
A sleeping beggar
inscribed 'Natura'
pen and brown ink, grey and red wash, watermark encircled anchor below star
5 3/8 x 7 5/8 in. (136 x 195 mm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Augustin Pajou achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2006. In the Master Drawings from the Oppé Collection auction, the work A sleeping beggar sold for GBP 4,200.00 (€ 6,233.33) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Augustin Pajou achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'Amour dominateur des éléments in November last year with an auction result of EUR 314,880.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Augustin Pajou erzielte im Dezember 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Master Drawings from the Oppé Collection wurde die Arbeit A sleeping beggar für GBP 4.200,00 (€ 6.233,33) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Augustin Pajou erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L'Amour dominateur des éléments im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 314.880,00.
