Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Landscape with Arched Tomb and an Obelisk by Léon Davent was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,625.00 (€ 1,418.72) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Léon Davent achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jupiter's Eagle bringing the Water of the Styx to Psyche in January 2019 with an auction result of USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,643.79).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Landscape with Arched Tomb and an Obelisk von Léon Davent kam im Januar 2019 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.625,00 (€ 1.418,72) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Léon Davent erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jupiter's Eagle bringing the Water of the Styx to Psyche im Januar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 19.643,79).
