Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Woman taking Coffee; The Milk Woman (Hérold 294-5) by Louis-Marin Bonnet was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,899.99). Other works by Louis-Marin Bonnet have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in October 2008 by the work Tête de Flore at EUR 4,880.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Woman taking Coffee; The Milk Woman (Hérold 294-5) von Louis-Marin Bonnet im Dezember 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.899,99) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Louis-Marin Bonnet wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Oktober 2008 die Arbeit Tête de Flore mit EUR 4.880,00.
