The work The prophet Elijah and the widow of Sarepta (Kings I:17) by Louis Chéron was sold in the Old Master & Early British Drawings and Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,756.90), 38% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis Chéron - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Sketch For A Wall And A Ceiling Decoration With Apollo In His Chariot And Apollo Pursuing Daphne, which sold at auction in June 2001 for GBP 17,625.00 (€ 29,278.63).
