Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Temptation of St. Anthony in a rocky cavern by Léonard Defrance was sold in the Master Paintings and Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. The price achieved of USD 10,080.00 (€ 8,583.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Léonard Defrance achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Interior of an Inn with elegant figures eating and artisans playing cards in the background; and Interior of an Inn with mixed company taking tea in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 132,000.00 (€ 196,050.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Temptation of St. Anthony in a rocky cavern von Léonard Defrance wurde im März 2021 in der Auktion Master Paintings and Drawings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 10.080,00 (€ 8.583,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Léonard Defrance erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Interior of an Inn with elegant figures eating and artisans playing cards in the background; and Interior of an Inn with mixed company taking tea im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 132.000,00 (€ 196.050,47).
