Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2000 Christies in London held the auction The Jeanson Collection, which included the work Passerin indigo - Indigo Bunting - Passerina cyanea Passerin - Bunting - Passerina sp. Fournier ? - Hornero - Furnarius 1 signed in gold "J.G Prêtre" in the margin, black chalk, brush and grey and brown wash, watercolour, heightened with white and gum by Jean-Gabriel Prêtre. The price achieved of GBP 822.50 (€ 1,303.76) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. Admittedly, works by Jean-Gabriel Prêtre have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work [Deux éléphants d'Afrique - Two African Elephants 1 Lion - Lion 2, only the first signed "JG Prêtre" in gold in the margin, the first with gold framing lines.|AID962896] in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 7,050.00 (€ 11,175.12).
