This artwork by Jean Démosthène Dugourc achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2016. In the Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours auction, the work A design for a fireplace, with Egyptian inspired decorations; a pharaoh, wearing a nemes (a stylised crown), and a short kilt to the left, two Osiris Canopus's flanking the fire, and a lintel with a Graeco-Roman inspired procession with draped figures sold for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,215.20) - w Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Démosthène Dugourc achieve.
