Sold at the lower estimate price
In November 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work French The Butterfly by Hugues Merle. The result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 20,099.69) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hugues Merle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French Hamlet And Ophelia in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 312,500.00 (€ 267,780.63).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im November 2014 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit French The Butterfly von Hugues Merle zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 20.099,69) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hugues Merle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit French Hamlet And Ophelia im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 312.500,00 (€ 267.780,63).
