Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Assumption Of Mary Magdalene Into Heaven by Léon Davent was sold in the Old Master Prints auction at Christies in London in December 2017. The price achieved of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,345.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Léon Davent - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jupiter's Eagle bringing the Water of the Styx to Psyche, which sold at auction in January 2019 for USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,643.79).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Assumption Of Mary Magdalene Into Heaven von Léon Davent wurde im Dezember 2017 in der Auktion Old Master Prints bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.345,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Léon Davent mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Jupiter's Eagle bringing the Water of the Styx to Psyche beobachtet, die im Januar 2019 für USD 22.500,00 (€ 19.643,79) versteigert wurde.
