Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Madeline Waving, Miss Clavel and Eleven Schoolgirls by Ludwig Bemelmans was worth USD 87,500.00 (€ 73,541.77) to a buyer in November 2017. This price was achieved in the auction American Art Online at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ludwig Bemelmans - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Illustration for 'Madeline and the Bad Hat' ("Pepito carried a bulging sack"), which sold at auction in March 2021 for USD 302,400.00 (€ 257,515.12).
