Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait of a girl holding a posy of flowers by Pierre-Alexandre Wille was auctioned at Bonhams in London in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 11,475.00 (€ 13,199.59). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Pierre-Alexandre Wille; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot "La Mère Indulgente" Et "Les Conseils Maternels" sold at auction in March 2016 with the realized price of EUR 22,750.00.

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait of a girl holding a posy of flowers von Pierre-Alexandre Wille im April 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 11.475,00 (€ 13.199,59) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Pierre-Alexandre Wille; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit "La Mère Indulgente" Et "Les Conseils Maternels" im März 2016 mit dem Hammerpreis von EUR 22.750,00.
