Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Géai du Pérou - Blanche-coiffe - Two Jais 1 Musophage violet - Violet Turaco - Musophaga violacea 2, both signed and dated "Edouard Traviès pt 1834" in the margin, black chalk, brush and grey and brown wash, watercolour, heightened with white and gum by Edouard Traviès was sold in the The Jeanson Collection auction at Christies in London in June 2000. The price achieved of GBP 1,175.00 (€ 1,862.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edouard Traviès achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by 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 in January 20
