I think you will soon agree that &#8220;The Discerning Eye&#8221; part of the title was very misleading. From the images alone, we felt that this was going to be a tough one, which was confirmed after viewing the actual works. Many had condition issues, were not strong examples, and one or two were unfinished (see image below). Of course, I had to watch the sale to see what happened, and most of the results were what we expected.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45083\" style=\"width: 171px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Paul_Helleu_Camara.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45083\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Paul_Helleu_Camara.jpg\" alt=\"portrait of a woman on a sofa\" width=\"161\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-45083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Helleu<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The most highly valued lot took the top spot &#8211; Giovanni Boldini&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Portrait of Countess Zichy<\/em>. This very large work (86.5 x 47 inches) carried a $1.5-2.5M estimate and hammered for $1.05M ($1.32M w\/p). Not what the auction room was expecting, but the owner bought the painting in 1995 after it went unsold with a $500-700K estimate. So, more than likely, he paid less than $500K. In second place they had Paul C\u00e9sar Helleu&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Camara<\/em>. This large pastel (41.5 x 38.5 inches) had a strong estimate of $100-150K and hammered at $120K ($151.2K w\/p). The seller acquired the painting back in 1993 for $51,750 &#8211; so not too bad. The third spot was nabbed by Louis Abb\u00e9ma&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Portrait of Ren\u00e9e Delmas de Pont-Jest<\/em>. It was estimated to bring $30-50K and was the best performer when it sold for $110K ($138.6K w\/p &#8211; more than doubling its high estimate). The seller bought this one back in 1993 for $41,400 &#8230; another profit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45081\" style=\"width: 355px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/abbema.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45081\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/abbema.jpg\" alt=\"woman at a desk\" width=\"345\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-45081\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Abb\u00e9ma<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Coming in fourth was a late period <a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/bio\/victor-gilbert\/\">Victor Gabriel Gilbert<\/a> titled\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/Antoine_Blanchard_Marche_aux_fleurs_Madeleine_5258.html\">Marche aux fleurs<\/a> de <a href=\"lhttps:\/\/rehs.com\/edouard_leon_cortes_paris_part_1.html\">la Madeleine<\/a>; L&#8217;embarras du choix<\/em>\u00a0that had a $50-70K estimate and sold for $70K ($88.2K w\/p &#8211; it was purchased back in 1995 for $48,875). Then there was a tie for 5th place when Paul C\u00e9sar Helleu&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Portrait of Lucette<\/em>\u00a0(est. $60-80K &#8211; bought for $32K in 1996) and Virgilio Costantini&#8217;s\u00a0<em>The Model&#8217;s Repose<\/em>\u00a0(est. $80-120K &#8211; bought in 1993 for $107K on a $10-15K estimate) each hammered at $50K ($63K w\/p). So, of the top works listed, five of the six were in the positive column.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45084\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/gervex_detail-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45084\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/gervex_detail-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"detail of a painting showing hands and flowers\" width=\"215\" height=\"286\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-45084\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gervex (detail &#8211; unfinished)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After reading that, you might be wondering &#8211; what is Howard talking about? Most of those lots did well. You are correct that most of those did well; what you are missing is the rest of the sale, which did not perform very well. Of the 45 lots offered, 26 sold (a 57.7% sell-through rate &#8211; not one of the best). The overall estimate range was $3.43-$5.35M, and the total hammer price was $1.87M ($2.35M w\/p), so they fell far short. Of the lots offered, 12 went below, 7 within, and 7 above their estimate range, giving them an accuracy rate of just 15.5%.<\/p>\n<p>This sale was another example of the major saleroom&#8217;s inability to source really strong 19th-century works, and it also illustrates that when a good 19th-century work is offered, there is competitive bidding.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, Sotheby&#8217;s presented a group of paintings from one collection titled Belle \u00c9poque Splendor: The Discerning Eye Of A Collector.
