Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work Three drawings: A) A coach travelling through the countryside B) A street scene in Spain C) The races by Constantin Guys was sold in the Master Paintings and Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. It achieved a price of USD 1,890.00 (€ 1,636.08), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Constantin Guys achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Elegant Company At A Ball; And Two Elegant Couples Walking In Winter in July 2001 with an auction result of GBP 10,575.00 (€ 17,220.62).
