A top price for Charles Boit

When the work Portrait Of Peter The Great, Emperor Of Russia (1672-1723) by Charles Boit was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at GBP 93,750.00 (€ 105,747.15). This high result makes Portrait Of Peter The Great, Emperor Of Russia (1672-1723) the most expensive artwork by Charles Boit that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Charles Boit

Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Peter The Great, Emperor Of Russia (1672-1723) von Charles Boit im November 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 9.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 93.750,00 (€ 105.747,15) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait Of Peter The Great, Emperor Of Russia (1672-1723) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Charles Boit, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
