Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait de Charles de Verninac (1803-1834) by Eugène Delacroix was sold in the Collection de Monsieur & Madame Robert Schmit | Œuvres choisies – Session I auction at Sothebys in Paris in December last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of EUR 300,000 - 500,000, the actual price achieved of EUR 327,100 could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eugène Delacroix achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tigre jouant avec une tortue in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 9,875,000 (€ 8,461,868).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait de Charles de Verninac (1803-1834) von Eugène Delacroix wurde im Dezember letzten Jahres in der Auktion Collection de Monsieur & Madame Robert Schmit | Œuvres choisies – Session I bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 300.000 – 500.000 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von EUR 327.100 konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eugène Delacroix erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tigre jouant avec une tortue im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 9.875.000 (€ 8.461.868).
