The work Psyché by Alexandre Cabanel was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. It achieved a price of USD 150,000.00 (€ 134,541.21), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Admittedly, works by Alexandre Cabanel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Birth of Venus in October 2002 with an auction result of USD 834,500.00 (€ 844,550.15).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
