Old Masters & 19th Century Art, Lot 425
29. Oct - 29. Oct 2010

Michel-François Préault (French, 1787-1927)
Smoking at a wall in a forest near Belgrade
inscribed 'grand beinte dans la forët de belgrade.' and signed 'préaux' (lower right)
pen and ink on paper, unframed
9 5/8 x 14 5/8 in. (24.5 x 37.4 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Smoking at a wall in a forest near Belgrade by Michel-François Préault was sold in the Old Masters & 19th Century Art auction at Christies in London in October 2010. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,161.90) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michel-François Préault - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Traders at Pera, on the Bosphorus, which sold at auction in October 2010 for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,044.44).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Smoking at a wall in a forest near Belgrade von Michel-François Préault wurde im Oktober 2010 in der Auktion Old Masters & 19th Century Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.161,90) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Michel-François Préault mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Traders at Pera, on the Bosphorus beobachtet, die im Oktober 2010 für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.044,44) versteigert wurde.
