Artwork auctioned at ten times the upper estimate price

When the work A study for The Movings by Louis-Léopold Boilly was auctioned at Bonhams in London in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at GBP 20,250.00 (€ 23,293.39). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis-Léopold Boilly achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A trompe l'oeil of an ivory and wood crucifix in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 823,500.00 (€ 755,851.31).

Kunstwerk zum Zehnfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A study for The Movings von Louis-Léopold Boilly im April 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 20.250,00 (€ 23.293,39) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis-Léopold Boilly erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A trompe l'oeil of an ivory and wood crucifix im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 823.500,00 (€ 755.851,31).
