A top price for Charles Gleyre - as previously expected
The work Swiss ulysses And Nausicaa by Charles Gleyre was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2018. The price achieved of GBP 175,000.00 (€ 194,965.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Swiss ulysses And Nausicaa is the most expensive artwork by Charles Gleyre that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Swiss ulysses And Nausicaa das teuerste Kunstwerk von Charles Gleyre, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
