Upper estimate price exceeded by 89 %.
This artwork by Horace Vernet achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. In the 19th Century European Art auction, the work Napoleonic Troops Fighting Mounted Mameluks (Possibly The Battle Of The Pyramids) sold for USD 37,800.00 (€ 32,454.71) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Horace Vernet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Death Of Prince Poniatowski On October 19Th, 1813 in June 2017 with an auction result of EUR 511,500.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Horace Vernet erzielte im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 19th Century European Art wurde die Arbeit Napoleonic Troops Fighting Mounted Mameluks (Possibly The Battle Of The Pyramids) für USD 37.800,00 (€ 32.454,71) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Horace Vernet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Death Of Prince Poniatowski On October 19Th, 1813 im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 511.500,00.
