Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2005 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Paintings, which included the work By The Waters of Babylon by Henry Lejeune. The price achieved of GBP 960.00 (€ 1,410.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Lejeune achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Bite in April 2003 with an auction result of USD 19,120.00 (€ 15,570.03).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit By The Waters of Babylon von Henry Lejeune zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 960,00 (€ 1.410,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Lejeune erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Bite im April 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 19.120,00 (€ 15.570,03).
