Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A grasshopper, a spider, a ladybird and a may-bug, a Maltese cross and two campanulas by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2019. The result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 43,652.87) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two narcissi and a columbine, a dragonfly and a stag beetle, which sold at auction in January 2019 for USD 137,500.00 (€ 120,045.40).

Für andere Arbeiten von Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two narcissi and a columbine, a dragonfly and a stag beetle beobachtet, die im Januar 2019 für USD 137.500,00 (€ 120.045,40) versteigert wurde.
