Upper estimate price exceeded by 98 %.
This artwork by Rosa Bonheur achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February this year. In the An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House auction, the work Study of two dogs sold for GBP 13,860.00 (€ 15,809.19) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rosa Bonheur achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Roi de la forêt in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 607,500.00 (€ 540,672.84).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Rosa Bonheur erzielte im Februar diesen Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House wurde die Arbeit Study of two dogs für GBP 13.860,00 (€ 15.809,19) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rosa Bonheur erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le Roi de la forêt im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 607.500,00 (€ 540.672,84).
