Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work French Le Labourage by Rosa Bonheur was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 423,000.00 (€ 371,737.41). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Rosa Bonheur; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Le Roi de la forêt sold at auction in May 2017 with the realized price of USD 607,500.00 (€ 540,672.84).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit French Le Labourage von Rosa Bonheur im Februar 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 423.000,00 (€ 371.737,41) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Rosa Bonheur; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Le Roi de la forêt im Mai 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 607.500,00 (€ 540.672,84).
