Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Portrait Of Guillaume Roumy, Uncle Of Pauline Ono by Jean-François Millet was worth USD 100,800.00 (€ 86,545.89) to a buyer in October 2020. This price was achieved in the auction 19th Century European Art at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 20,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-François Millet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'Horizon (La plaine) in October 2014 with an auction result of USD 1,985,000.00 (€ 1,584,197.92).

Die Arbeit Portrait Of Guillaume Roumy, Uncle Of Pauline Ono von Jean-François Millet war einem Käufer im Oktober 2020 USD 100.800,00 (€ 86.545,89) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-François Millet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L'Horizon (La plaine) im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.985.000,00 (€ 1.584.197,92).
