This artwork by Constantin Meunier achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2006. In the 19th Century European Pictures including Russian Pictures auction, the work Sowing Seed At Dusk sold for GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,782.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Constantin Meunier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le semeur in June 2010 with an auction result of GBP 313,250.00 (€ 380,941.16).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Constantin Meunier erzielte im März 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 19th Century European Pictures including Russian Pictures wurde die Arbeit Sowing Seed At Dusk für GBP 2.640,00 (€ 3.782,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Constantin Meunier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le semeur im Juni 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 313.250,00 (€ 380.941,16).
