Like much of Fechin\u2019s work, both are portraits using his characteristic style of thick impasto and a chaotic mess of brushstrokes making up the background. <\/span><em>Portrait of Mademoiselle Ducter<\/em> dates to 1925, after fifteen years of Fechin living and working in the United States.

Of the ninety-seven available lots, thirty-two sold within their estimates, giving Bonhams specialists a 33% accuracy rate. Fifteen lots (15%) sold below their estimates, while seventeen (18%) sold above. The remaining thirty-three lots (34%) went unsold. The one prominent disappointment at Bonhams that day was one of the unsold works.

When Bonhams exhibited the painting in New York, we went to take a look. Its murky varnish makes it difficult to assess its true condition, yet Bonhams specialists gave the painting an estimate range of \u00a3800K to \u00a31.2 million. When the time came, interest in the painting was insufficient to reach the reserve, and it wound up bought in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even though the Bouguereau brought down the overall amount <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the sale was predicted<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to bring in, it wouldn\u2019t be fair to look only at the amount <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">of money<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. 33% is still an impressive accuracy rate from Bonhams<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.
