Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2016 a collector was able to acquire the work An artist's soul borne up to Heaven by Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,614.53). This price was achieved in the auction A Surreal Legacy: Selected works of art from The Edward James Foundation at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A wooded landscape with two monkeys eating grapes in October 2014 with an auction result of GBP 116,500.00 (€ 148,753.67).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2016 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit An artist's soul borne up to Heaven von Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.614,53) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A Surreal Legacy: Selected works of art from The Edward James Foundation bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A wooded landscape with two monkeys eating grapes im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 116.500,00 (€ 148.753,67).
