Auction result well in line with expectations

The work An Arab Guard by Léon Bonnat was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Christies in New York in October 2015. The price achieved of USD 31,250.00 (€ 28,301.03) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Léon Bonnat achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Samson's Youth in October 2006 with an auction result of USD 408,000.00 (€ 319,423.78).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit An Arab Guard von Léon Bonnat wurde im Oktober 2015 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 28.301,03) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Léon Bonnat erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Samson's Youth im Oktober 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 408.000,00 (€ 319.423,78).
