Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Claude-Louis Desrais could be acquired at Sothebys in London in July 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work Job On The Dung-Hill, Scolded By His Wife changed hands for GBP 1,750.00 (€ 1,985.73) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. Admittedly, works by Claude-Louis Desrais have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Monsieur Mesmer'S Baquet in January 2012 with an auction result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,491.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Claude-Louis Desrais konnte im Juli 2009 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wechselte die Arbeit Job On The Dung-Hill, Scolded By His Wife für GBP 1.750,00 (€ 1.985,73) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Claude-Louis Desrais auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Monsieur Mesmer'S Baquet im Januar 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 11.491,61).
