Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Seville, Spain, 1933 by Henri Cartier-Bresson was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2018. It changed hands for a price of USD 11,875.00 (€ 9,835.18) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henri Cartier-Bresson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work On the Banks of the Marne, France in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 212,500.00 (€ 195,043.60).
