Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Frugal Meal by Émile Friant was auctioned at Sothebys in Paris in June 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at EUR 168,750.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Émile Friant; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Political Discussion sold at auction in June 2018 with the realized price of EUR 212,500.00.
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Frugal Meal von Émile Friant im Juni 2018 bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 168.750,00 mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Émile Friant; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit The Political Discussion im Juni 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von EUR 212.500,00.
