Draw two lots, standing at the beginning of the catalogue, showed that the public evidently stopped to consider the "Russian enamel" solely as the auction PDI and took it seriously as the auction OUT. The first big battle of the day in which he was involved and in the party room, erupted for lot 13 — landscape "Pine forest" by the Russian artist of the late XIX @ & mdash; early XX century I. Eremeeva. Start with 5 900 rubles picture very quickly increased the price 4 times and came away the winner on the phone for 24 000 rubles.

In the most tense moments of the drawing of this lot — at 100 000, then 150 000 — bidders started to Dodge, trying to dislodge opponents from the state of psychological equilibrium. Stepping a half-step or, alternatively, jumping several steps, they just whipped up themselves and other players, and the rest of the audience in sale@
