Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2009 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of Princess Bariatinsky, three-quarter length by Franz Xaver Winterhalter for GBP 115,250.00 (€ 129,732.76). This price was achieved in the auction 19th Century European Art at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Franz Xaver Winterhalter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Queen Olga of Württemberg, Grand Duchess of Russia in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 1,072,000.00 (€ 1,551,166.13).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2009 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of Princess Bariatinsky, three-quarter length von Franz Xaver Winterhalter für GBP 115.250,00 (€ 129.732,76) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Franz Xaver Winterhalter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Queen Olga of Württemberg, Grand Duchess of Russia im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.072.000,00 (€ 1.551.166,13).
