Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master Drawings, which included the work A pause during a dance: a Young woman with her hands on her hips by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. It changed hands for a price of USD 88,200.00 (€ 72,682.32) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Honoré Fragonard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Verrou (The Bolt) in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 5,172,000.00 (€ 7,681,613.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Master Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A pause during a dance: a Young woman with her hands on her hips von Jean-Honoré Fragonard zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 88.200,00 (€ 72.682,32) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Honoré Fragonard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le Verrou (The Bolt) im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.172.000,00 (€ 7.681.613,89).
