Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work The Labors of Hercules by François Boitard was sold in the The Scholars Eye: Property from the Julius Held Collection Part I auction at Christies in New York in January 2009. Here, the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 1,625.00 (€ 1,269.13). Admittedly, works by François Boitard have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Douze Dessins Représentant Des Scènes De L'Ancien Testament: Scènes De L'Histoire De Joseph in April 2013 with an auction result of EUR 5,750.00.
