Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Emile Claus achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in May 2018. In the 19th Century European Paintings auction, the work Belgian Girl From Granada sold for GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,315.12) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Emile Claus achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vue sur Murano, lueur du couchant in February 2018 with an auction result of GBP 596,750.00 (€ 674,111.01).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Emile Claus erzielte im Mai 2018 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 19th Century European Paintings wurde die Arbeit Belgian Girl From Granada für GBP 27.500,00 (€ 31.315,12) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Emile Claus erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Vue sur Murano, lueur du couchant im Februar 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 596.750,00 (€ 674.111,01).
