This artwork by Edouard Traviès achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2017. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work Exotic birds: Mexican parrotlet and Painted conure; Emerald cuckoo and Citron-throated Toucan; Green-winged king parrot and Monk parakeet; and Hoopoe, Blue crowned motmot, and Groove-billed ani sold for USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,896.61) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edouard Traviès - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Studies of birds: Livingstone's tauraco, Red-winged crested cuckoo, and Common cuckoo; Royal flycatcher and Scarlet-spectacled wattle-eye; Common redstart, Nightingale, and Black redstart; Helmeted guinea fowl, Little bustard, and Great bustard; Red-bille, which sold at auction in January 2017 for USD 32,500.00 (€ 30,10
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
