Auction result well in line with expectations
The work French The Flower Seller by Léon François Comerre was sold in the 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2008. The price achieved of USD 37,500.00 (€ 29,569.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Léon François Comerre achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French Le Triomphe Du Cygne in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 240,500.00 (€ 336,762.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit French The Flower Seller von Léon François Comerre wurde im Oktober 2008 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 29.569,47) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Léon François Comerre erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit French Le Triomphe Du Cygne im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 240.500,00 (€ 336.762,22).
