Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Little Cowboy Takes a Licking by Joseph Christian Leyendecker was sold in the American Art auction at Christies in New York in November 2018. The result of USD 150,000.00 (€ 132,473.73) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joseph Christian Leyendecker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Carousel Ride, which sold at auction in December 2020 for USD 516,100.00 (€ 421,995.09).
