Upper estimate price exceeded by 73 %.

The work A seated monk with a standing acolyte by François Bonvin was sold in the Master Paintings and Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,386.00 (€ 1,199.79), 73% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by François Bonvin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'écolier in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 169,250.00 (€ 203,504.06).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 73 % übertroffen
