Upper estimate price exceeded by 46 %.
The work La Vénus Endormie by Jean-Etienne Liotard was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 9,846.84), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 46%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Etienne Liotard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Dutch Girl At Breakfast in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 4,405,000.00 (€ 5,234,092.94).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 9.846,84) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 46%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Etienne Liotard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Dutch Girl At Breakfast im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.405.000,00 (€ 5.234.092,94).
