Weeks&#8217; <em>A F\u00eate Day at Bekanir &#8211; Beloochistan, Bekanir<\/em>, which this time around carried a reasonable estimate of $150-250K, hammered at $340K ($420.5K w\/c). In May of 2017, Christie&#8217;s offered it with a $300-$500K estimate and it was unsold.\u00a0 Funny to think that with a much lower estimate, the painting landed in last year&#8217;s higher estimate range &#8230; go figure?\u00a0 What a difference a day makes! And one other point of interest, the Weeks last sold in 1993 for $37K.<\/p>\n<p>There were a few nice surprises.\u00a0 Frederic, Lord Leighton&#8217;s tiny (4 x 7 inch) still life study was expected to bring $15-$20K and sold for $42K ($52.5K w\/c); Carrier-Belleuse&#8217;s <em>L&#8217;Omnibus<\/em> made $85K ($106K w\/c &#8211; est. $50-70K &#8211; it last sold in 1994 for $25K) and Thaulow&#8217;s small (18 x 21 inch) <em>A Stream in Springtime<\/em> made $48K ($60K w\/c &#8211; est. $25-35K). And, as with every sale, there were works that could not find a buyer, these included paintings by: Beraud (sorry, but the estimate was a bit too optimistic), Pasini, Lazerges, Kruseman, Boulanger and Hardy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29751\" style=\"width: 191px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/jean-auguste-dominique_ingres_virgil_reading_from_the_aeneid.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29751\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/jean-auguste-dominique_ingres_virgil_reading_from_the_aeneid-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"jean-auguste-dominique_ingres_virgil_reading_from_the_aeneid-247x300\" width=\"181\" height=\"220\" data-uw-rm-alt-original=\"jean-auguste-dominique_ingres_virgil_reading_from_the_aeneid-247x300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ingres &#8220;Virgil Reading from the Aeneid&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By the end of the short session, of the 61 lots offered, 43 (70.5%) found new homes, for a total take of $5.185M ($6.4M w\/c) &#8230; the low end of their estimate range was $6.09M. So, they made it with the buyer&#8217;s commission added in.<\/p>\n<p>Digging a little deeper we find that almost 25% of the sale (15 works) came from one consignor &#8230; Property of a Prince &#8211; these included the two <a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/william_a_bouguereau.html\">Bouguereau<\/a>s. Then there were the 5 paintings being sold by La Salle University which carried a combined estimate range of $800-$1.3M and only achieved a hammer price of $645K (2 of the 5 works failed to find a buyer) &#8230; I am sure they were not very happy but then again, the paintings weren&#8217;t very impressive. And finally, of the 43 sold works, 16 fell below, 19 within and 8 above their estimate ranges, leaving the overall accuracy rate for the entire sale at 31.1%.<\/p>\n<p>While these results were not newsworthy, they were much better than last year&#8217;s sale:<\/p>\nNumber of Lots: 87 (2017) vs. 61 (2018)<br \/>\nSell-through rate: 56.8% (2017) vs. 70.5% (2018)<br \/>\nAccuracy rate: 13.8% (2017) vs. 31.1% (2018)<br \/>\nLow end of estimate range: $7.5M (2017) vs. $6.09M (2018)<br \/>\nTotal take: $5.18M hammer (2017) vs. $5.19M (2018)<br \/>\nTotal take with Buyer&#8217;s Commissions: $6.4M (for both sales)\n<p>So, in 2018 there were 30% fewer lots, a higher sell-through rate, a better accuracy rate, a lower overall estimate range and the same sale&#8217;s total.\u00a0 They even made it into their estimate range once the buyer&#8217;s commission was added in.\u00a0 These improvements are a positive sign for the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century market.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29753\" style=\"width: 218px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/edwin-lord-weeks-a-f\u00eate-day-at-bekanir-beloochistan-bekanir.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29753\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/edwin-lord-weeks-a-f\u00eate-day-at-bekanir-beloochistan-bekanir-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"edwin-lord-weeks-a-f\u00eate-day-at-bekanir-beloochistan-bekanir-300x225\" width=\"208\" height=\"156\" data-uw-rm-alt-original=\"edwin-lord-weeks-a-f\u00eate-day-at-bekanir-beloochistan-bekanir-300x225\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">E.L.
