Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price
The work Falcon Chasing Rabbits by Auguste-Nicolas Cain was worth USD 8,820.00 (€ 7,331.67) to a buyer in April 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for a Nation, Part II at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 900.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Auguste-Nicolas Cain; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot French Brillador And Fanfardon - Coupled Hounds sold at auction in December 2008 with the realized price of USD 11,250.00 (€ 8,082.48).
