A top price for Charles-Melchior Descourtis - as previously expected
The work L'Histoire De Paul Et Virginie, After J. F. Schall (Nevill 121; Portalis & Beraldi I, 8) by Charles-Melchior Descourtis was sold in the OLD MASTER,MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY PRINTS auction at Christies in London in November 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,346.00 (€ 4,813.20) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, L'Histoire De Paul Et Virginie, After J. F. Schall (Nevill 121; Portalis & Beraldi I, 8) is the most expensive artwork by Charles-Melchior Descourtis that we have observed at auctions so far.
