Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black overcoat by Julien-Léopold Boilly was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 600.00 – 800.00, the actual price achieved of USD 625.00 (€ 396.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Julien-Léopold Boilly achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Trompe L'Oeil Of A Bookshelf With A Terracotta Relief in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 152,500.00 (€ 111,192.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black overcoat von Julien-Léopold Boilly kam im Juni 2008 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 625,00 (€ 396,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Julien-Léopold Boilly erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Trompe L'Oeil Of A Bookshelf With A Terracotta Relief im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 152.500,00 (€ 111.192,13).
