Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work La Gimblette (The Ring Biscuit) by Jean-Honoré Fragonard was sold in the Old Masters auction at Christies in New York in January 2024. Here, the upper estimate of USD 700,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 756,000.00 (€ 660,723.65). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Honoré Fragonard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Verrou (The Bolt) in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 5,172,000.00 (€ 7,681,613.89).
