Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work An Oriental Beauty by Emile Charles Lecomte-Vernet was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 19,200.00 (€ 16,006.67). Admittedly, works by Emile Charles Lecomte-Vernet have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work French aimée, A Young Egyptian in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 92,500.00 (€ 70,957.35).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit An Oriental Beauty von Emile Charles Lecomte-Vernet im Oktober 2005 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 19.200,00 (€ 16.006,67) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Emile Charles Lecomte-Vernet auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit French aimée, A Young Egyptian im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 92.500,00 (€ 70.957,35).
