Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work French Le Village by Léon Légat was sold in the European Paintings including The Orientalist Sale, Symbolism and the Poetic Vision and Spanish Painting auction at Sothebys in London in November 2008. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,846.42). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Léon Légat - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Farmyard In Cernay, which sold at auction in June 2006 for GBP 22,800.00 (€ 32,991.22).
