oil on canvas
21¾ x 11½ in. (55 x 29 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Emile Lévy could be acquired at Christies in New York in May 2000 for an unexpectedly low price. In the 19th Century Paintings auction, the work The elopement changed hands for USD 11,750.00 (€ 12,596.48) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emile Lévy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work VERCINGETORIX THROWS DOWN HIS ARMS AT THE FEET OF JULIUS CAESAR, which sold at auction in December 2020 for EUR 40,320.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Emile Lévy konnte im Mai 2000 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion 19th Century Paintings wechselte die Arbeit The elopement für USD 11.750,00 (€ 12.596,48) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Emile Lévy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit VERCINGETORIX THROWS DOWN HIS ARMS AT THE FEET OF JULIUS CAESAR beobachtet, die im Dezember 2020 für EUR 40.320,00 versteigert wurde.
