Antoine-Germain Bévalet (Paris 1779-1850)
Seaweed; and Six wild birds' eggs
bodycolour on vellum, with gold border
5¼ x 5 1/8 in. (134 x 129 mm.) (2)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Seaweed; and Six wild birds' eggs by Antoine-Germain Bévalet was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,413.45). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antoine-Germain Bévalet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Serpent du Mexique et crocodile du Sénégal, which sold at auction in March 2019 for EUR 10,000.00.

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Seaweed; and Six wild birds' eggs von Antoine-Germain Bévalet im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.413,45) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Antoine-Germain Bévalet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Serpent du Mexique et crocodile du Sénégal beobachtet, die im März 2019 für EUR 10.000,00 versteigert wurde.
