Maurice Blond (1899-1974)
Portrait of a lady, bust-length
signed 'Blond' (upper left)
oil on canvas
15¼ x 12½ in. (38.7 x 31.7 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Portrait of a lady, bust-length by Maurice Blond was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 235.00 (€ 337.35). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Maurice Blond achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Two village scenes First: signed in Latin (lower right) in June last year with an auction result of GBP 3,570.00 (€ 4,147.32).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, bust-length von Maurice Blond im November 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 235,00 (€ 337,35) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Maurice Blond erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Two village scenes First: signed in Latin (lower right) im Juni letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.570,00 (€ 4.147,32).
