Ernst Meisel (1838-1895)
The gift
signed 'Meisel' (lower right)

24¾ x 29 5/8 in. (62.8 x 75.3 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 57 %.

In June 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH & CONTINENTAL PICTURES, which included the work The Gift by Ernst Meisel. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,700.00 (€ 7,807.64), 57% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ernst Meisel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Abschied Ludwigs XVI. von seiner Familie im Tempel: King Louis XVI of France bidding farewell to his family in the Temple prison, which sold at auction in December 2003 for EUR 23,900.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 57 % übertroffen

Im Juni 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH & CONTINENTAL PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Gift von Ernst Meisel zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.700,00 (€ 7.807,64) und damit 57% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Ernst Meisel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Abschied Ludwigs XVI. von seiner Familie im Tempel: King Louis XVI of France bidding farewell to his family in the Temple prison beobachtet, die im Dezember 2003 für EUR 23.900,00 versteigert wurde.
