Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of The Baron De Besenval; Portrait Of The Baronne De Besenval by Nicolas de Largillière was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2014. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 120,000.00 – 160,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 125,000.00 (€ 92,592.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicolas de Largillière achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La belle Strasbourgeoise in September 2020 with an auction result of EUR 1,570,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of The Baron De Besenval; Portrait Of The Baronne De Besenval von Nicolas de Largillière kam im Januar 2014 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 120.000,00 – 160.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 125.000,00 (€ 92.592,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicolas de Largillière erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La belle Strasbourgeoise im September 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 1.570.000,00.
