A top price for Antoine Coypel - as previously expected
The work Allegory Of Music (A Portrait Of Mme. De Maintenon With The Natural Children Of Louis Xiv) by Antoine Coypel was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,565,000.00 (€ 1,386,182.46) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Allegory Of Music (A Portrait Of Mme. De Maintenon With The Natural Children Of Louis Xiv) is the most expensive artwork by Antoine Coypel that we have observed at auctions so far.
