Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Au foyer du théâtre by Jean Louis Forain was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper auction at Christies in London in February 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 106,250.00 (€ 123,944.33), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Louis Forain achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La femme aux affiches in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,692,500.00 (€ 1,450,299.91).

Die Arbeit Au foyer du théâtre von Jean Louis Forain wurde im Februar 2019 in der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 106.250,00 (€ 123.944,33) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 33%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean Louis Forain erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La femme aux affiches im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.692.500,00 (€ 1.450.299,91).
