Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction The Orientalist Sale, which included the work At Prayer by Jean-Léon Gérôme. The price achieved of GBP 94,500.00 (€ 111,956.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Léon Gérôme achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Riders Crossing The Desert in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 3,135,000.00 (€ 3,636,375.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Orientalist Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit At Prayer von Jean-Léon Gérôme zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 94.500,00 (€ 111.956,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Léon Gérôme erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Riders Crossing The Desert im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.135.000,00 (€ 3.636.375,17).
