This artwork by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2014. In the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction, the work Study for Ludus pro patria: A group of figures in classical costume gathered beside a river sold for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,401.47) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sketch For Summer : The Bath in June 2018 with an auction result of EUR 212,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 77 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Pierre Puvis de Chavannes erzielte im Juli 2014 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours wurde die Arbeit Study for Ludus pro patria: A group of figures in classical costume gathered beside a river für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.401,47) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00.
