Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A view of the Temple of Luxor, Thebes by Henry Pilleau was auctioned at Bonhams in London in June this year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 768.00 (€ 893.82) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Pilleau - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The fort city of Valleta, Malta, which sold at auction in September 2002 for GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,801.02).
