This artwork by Charles Percier achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2005. In the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction, the work A Roman courtyard seen from a loggia decorated with antique helmets on composite columns and a sarcophagus sold for USD 19,200.00 (€ 14,713.77) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Percier - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Reliefs Et Monuments Antiques, which sold at auction in March 2016 for EUR 41,480.00.
