Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by William-Adolphe Bouguereau achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. In the Master Paintings Part II auction, the work Two Sketches for the Chapel of Saint Louis at Sainte-Clotilde Decorations: Prudence, Justice and Temperance; Saint Louis Dispensing Justice; Saint Louis Made Prisoner at Mansourah and Faith, Hope and Charity; Saint Louis Caring for the Sick; Saint Louis' sold for USD 63,000.00 (€ 51,915.95) - well above the upper estimat 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von William-Adolphe Bouguereau erzielte im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Master Paintings Part II wurde die Arbeit Two Sketches for the Chapel of Saint Louis at Sainte-Clotilde Decorations: Prudence, Justice and Temperance; Saint Louis Dispensing Justice; Saint Louis Made Prisoner at Mansourah and Faith, Hope and Charity; Saint Louis Caring for the Sick; Saint Louis' für USD 63.000,00 (€ 51.915,95) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. 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).
