Jules Bastien-Lepage (Damvillers 1848-1884 Paris)
Orpheus
signed 'J. BASTIEN-LEPAGE'
charcoal and white chalk and stumping, on light brown paper, watermark MICHALLET.
18 x 12 in. (45.8 x 30.3 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jules Bastien-Lepage achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2012. In the Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours auction, the work Orpheus sold for GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,620.72) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jules Bastien-Lepage achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait De Sarah Bernhardt in October last year with an auction result of USD 2,280,000.00 (€ 2,295,147.98).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jules Bastien-Lepage erzielte im Dezember 2012 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours wurde die Arbeit Orpheus für GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.620,72) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jules Bastien-Lepage erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait De Sarah Bernhardt im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.280.000,00 (€ 2.295.147,98).
