Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work French View Of The South Of The Necropolis In Cairo With The Citadel In The Background by Prosper Marilhat for USD 56,250.00 (€ 44,354.20). This price was achieved in the auction 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Prosper Marilhat - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Travellers at an Oasis, which sold at auction in June 2003 for GBP 83,650.00 (€ 120,209.60).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit French View Of The South Of The Necropolis In Cairo With The Citadel In The Background von Prosper Marilhat für USD 56.250,00 (€ 44.354,20) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Prosper Marilhat mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Travellers at an Oasis beobachtet, die im Juni 2003 für GBP 83.650,00 (€ 120.209,60) versteigert wurde.
