Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jacques Gamelin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Paris in December 2020. In the Tableaux Dessins Sculptures 1300-1900 auction, the work HECTOR'S BODY, WOUNDED BY AJAX, IS BROUGHT TO THE ZANTHE RIVER sold for EUR 10,080.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 4,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jacques Gamelin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Nouveau recueil d'ostologie et de myologie, dessin d'aprs nature ... pour l'utilit des sciences et des arts. Toulouse: J.F. Desclassan, 1779. sold at auction in June 2013 with the realized price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,529.59).
