Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2014 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Prints, which included the work Christ On The Cross Between Two Thieves (E. 37; Be. 12) by Jean Duvet. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 14,482.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean Duvet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Saints Sebastian, Anthony, and Roch (B. 10; Bersier 48; Eisler 70), which sold at auction in July 2011 for GBP 46,850.00 (€ 53,767.38).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Christ On The Cross Between Two Thieves (E. 37; Be. 12) von Jean Duvet zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 14.482,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean Duvet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Saints Sebastian, Anthony, and Roch (B. 10; Bersier 48; Eisler 70) beobachtet, die im Juli 2011 für GBP 46.850,00 (€ 53.767,38) versteigert wurde.
