Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Arnold Genthe could be acquired at Sothebys in Paris in September 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Photographs, Furniture, and Works of Art from a Parisian Flat, Avenue Montaigne auction, the work Greta Garbo changed hands for EUR 1,375.00 - missing the lower end of the estimate range of EUR 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by Arnold Genthe have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Mixed Crowd, Old Chinatown, San Fransisco, 1895-1906 in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 11,377.10).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
