A top price for Jean-Baptiste Hilaire - as previously expected

The work Portrait of Sultan Abd-ul Hamid I standing in front of a golden throne, a domed palace in the distance by Jean-Baptiste Hilaire was sold in the Old Master And 19th Century Drawings auction at Christies in New York in January 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 157,000.00 (€ 105,788.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait of Sultan Abd-ul Hamid I standing in front of a golden throne, a domed palace in the distance is the most expensive artwork by Jean-Baptiste Hilaire that we have observed at auctions so far.
