Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Study of a Horse with Bridle and Saddle by Ernest Meissonier was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May last year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 4,788.00 (€ 5,632.63) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernest Meissonier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French les Deux Amis in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 442,000.00 (€ 418,481.35).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Study of a Horse with Bridle and Saddle von Ernest Meissonier kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 4.788,00 (€ 5.632,63) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ernest Meissonier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit French les Deux Amis im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 442.000,00 (€ 418.481,35).
