Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Hay making by Jean-Baptiste Millet was sold in the AT HOME-BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL PICTURES AND WORKS ON PAPER auction at Christies in London in June 2003. The price achieved of GBP 411.25 (€ 590.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Baptiste Millet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A landscape with a field of mangold wurzels, a hamlet with two figures beyond in July 2003 with an auction result of GBP 4,541.00 (€ 5,935.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Hay making von Jean-Baptiste Millet wurde im Juni 2003 in der Auktion AT HOME-BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL PICTURES AND WORKS ON PAPER bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 411,25 (€ 590,99) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Baptiste Millet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A landscape with a field of mangold wurzels, a hamlet with two figures beyond im Juli 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.541,00 (€ 5.935,39).
