Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A historical battle scene in before an altar (recto); Warriors with shields and a crowned figure (verso); and Two studies of allegorical figures by François Gérard was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2020. The result of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,673.14) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by François Gérard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Baronportrait Of Joachim Napoléon Murat, King Of Naples And Of The Two Sicilies in June 2017 with an auction result of EUR 739,500.00.

Die Arbeit A historical battle scene in before an altar (recto); Warriors with shields and a crowned figure (verso); and Two studies of allegorical figures von François Gérard wurde im Juli 2020 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.673,14) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von François Gérard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Baronportrait Of Joachim Napoléon Murat, King Of Naples And Of The Two Sicilies im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 739.500,00.
