Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A man kneeling before a woman by William-Adolphe Bouguereau was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2020. It changed hands for a price of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,625.13) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William-Adolphe Bouguereau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Jeunesse De Bacchus in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 20,766,000.00 (€ 18,625,885.73).
