Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait D'Homme (Study For Un Grand Pardon Breton) by Jules Breton was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 18,750.00 (€ 16,902.55). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jules Breton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French les Communiantes in May 2016 with an auction result of USD 1,270,000.00 (€ 1,140,547.82).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait D'Homme (Study For Un Grand Pardon Breton) von Jules Breton im Januar 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 18.750,00 (€ 16.902,55) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jules Breton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit French les Communiantes im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.270.000,00 (€ 1.140.547,82).
