In July 2005 Christies in London held the auction Old Master and 19th Century Drawings including Andrea del, which included the work The Three Graces Holding Cupid Drawing A Bow by Étienne-Charles Leguay. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,560.00 (€ 6,614.24), 30% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Étienne-Charles Leguay have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of A Lady And Gentleman, Circa 1801 in December 2018 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 30,637.44).

Im Juli 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings including Andrea del durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Three Graces Holding Cupid Drawing A Bow von Étienne-Charles Leguay zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.560,00 (€ 6.614,24) und damit 30% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Étienne-Charles Leguay auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady And Gentleman, Circa 1801 im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 30.637,44).
