Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Le Travail Interrompu (Réduction) by William-Adolphe Bouguereau was sold in the The European Art Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2021. The price achieved of USD 352,800.00 (€ 289,322.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Le Travail Interrompu (Réduction) von William-Adolphe Bouguereau wurde im Mai 2021 in der Auktion The European Art Sale bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 352.800,00 (€ 289.322,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William-Adolphe Bouguereau erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Jeunesse De Bacchus im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 20.766.000,00 (€ 18.625.885,73).
