JEAN-BAPTISTE HUET (PARIS 1745-1811)
A study of lilacs
signed and dated 'J. B. hüet . 1786 ..' (lower center)
oil on paper laid down on canvas
16 1⁄8 x 12 ½ in. (41.3 x 31.7 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jean-Baptiste Huet achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2024. In the Old Master Paintings and Sculpture: Part II auction, the work A study of lilacs sold for USD 37,800.00 (€ 33,036.18) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Baptiste Huet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Une Caravanne in January 2012 with an auction result of USD 590,500.00 (€ 452,386.42).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean-Baptiste Huet erzielte im Januar 2024 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Paintings and Sculpture: Part II wurde die Arbeit A study of lilacs für USD 37.800,00 (€ 33.036,18) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Baptiste Huet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Une Caravanne im Januar 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 590.500,00 (€ 452.386,42).
