Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Jules Moigniez could be acquired at Christies in New York in December 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Sporting and Wildlife Art auction, the work Merinos né a wideville (Merino ram) changed hands for USD 812.50 (€ 583.73) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jules Moigniez achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Little Agnès: a tethered thoroughbred with greyhound and tack in December 2005 with an auction result of USD 18,000.00 (€ 15,200.14).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jules Moigniez konnte im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Sporting and Wildlife Art wechselte die Arbeit Merinos né a wideville (Merino ram) für USD 812,50 (€ 583,73) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jules Moigniez erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Little Agnès: a tethered thoroughbred with greyhound and tack im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 18.000,00 (€ 15.200,14).
