Auction result well in line with expectations
The work French le Simoun by Eugène Fromentin was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2012. The price achieved of GBP 217,250.00 (€ 266,451.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 180,000.00 – 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eugène Fromentin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Windstorm On The Esparto Plains Of The Sahara, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 639,000.00 (€ 741,194.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit French le Simoun von Eugène Fromentin kam im April 2012 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 217.250,00 (€ 266.451,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 180.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Eugène Fromentin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Windstorm On The Esparto Plains Of The Sahara beobachtet, die im Oktober 2019 für GBP 639.000,00 (€ 741.194,17) versteigert wurde.
