This artwork by Ernest Meissonier achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in May last year. In the European Fine Living auction, the work 19th century sold for USD 164,175.00 (€ 152,991.33) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ernest Meissonier - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work French les Deux Amis, which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 442,000.00 (€ 418,481.35).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ernest Meissonier erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion European Fine Living wurde die Arbeit 19th century für USD 164.175,00 (€ 152.991,33) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ernest Meissonier mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit French les Deux Amis beobachtet, die im November 2015 für USD 442.000,00 (€ 418.481,35) versteigert wurde.
