Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An Afternoon Idyll by Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2019. The price achieved of GBP 100,000.00 (€ 116,328.90) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The King Of Morocco Leaving To Receive A European Ambassador, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 375,000.00 (€ 434,973.11).
