Sold at the upper estimate price
In May 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work 'Arlésiennes', C. 1853 by Charles Nègre. The auction ended at the price of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 18,435.48), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Admittedly, works by Charles Nègre have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Versant de la colline avec cascade et personnage (Slope of the hill with waterfall and figure) in October 2017 with an auction result of USD 112,500.00 (€ 96,583.10).
