This artwork by Jean Siméon Chardin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2000. In the Important Old Master Paintings auction, the work Leeks, a casserole with a cloth, a copper pot and cover, an onion and eggs with a pestle and mortar, on a stone ledge sold for USD 886,000.00 (€ 949,828.47) - well above the upper estimate of USD 500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Siméon Chardin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Basket Of Wild Strawberries in March last year with an auction result of EUR 24,381,400.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean Siméon Chardin erzielte im Mai 2000 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important Old Master Paintings wurde die Arbeit Leeks, a casserole with a cloth, a copper pot and cover, an onion and eggs with a pestle and mortar, on a stone ledge für USD 886.000,00 (€ 949.828,47) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 500.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean Siméon Chardin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Basket Of Wild Strawberries im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 24.381.400,00.
