A top price for Louis-Pierre Verwée - as previously expected
In October 2002 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction NINETEENTH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART, which included the work A herdsman with cattle fording a stream in a valley; and A shepherd with a flock of sheep resting in a valley by Louis-Pierre Verwée. The price achieved of EUR 35,850.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A herdsman with cattle fording a stream in a valley; and A shepherd with a flock of sheep resting in a valley is the most expensive artwork by Louis-Pierre Verwée that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Oktober 2002 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion NINETEENTH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit A herdsman with cattle fording a stream in a valley; and A shepherd with a flock of sheep resting in a valley von Louis-Pierre Verwée zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 35.850,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A herdsman with cattle fording a stream in a valley; and A shepherd with a flock of sheep resting in a valley das teuerste Kunstwerk von Louis-Pierre Verwée, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
