Price realised: 62.500 USD
incised with artist's signature 'M. MOUKTAR' (right of the base), stamped with foundry's mark (top of the base)
bronze with silver patina
18 x 4 x 4 7/8in. (46 x 10.3 x 12.5cm.)

Acquired by the present owner's grandmother circa 1930s and thence by descent to the present owner.

Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2015 Christies in Dubai held the auction Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work Femme à la cruche (Woman with Jar) by Mahmoud Mokhtar. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 56,602.06) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mahmoud Mokhtar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Egyptian au Bord Du Nil (Ala Shat Elnil / On The Banks Of The Nile) in April 2016 with an auction result of GBP 725,000.00 (€ 926,765.58).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2015 führte Christies in Dubai die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Femme à la cruche (Woman with Jar) von Mahmoud Mokhtar zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 56.602,06) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mahmoud Mokhtar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Egyptian au Bord Du Nil (Ala Shat Elnil / On The Banks Of The Nile) im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 725.000,00 (€ 926.765,58).
