Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Femme à la voilette by Jean Louis Forain was worth EUR 44,100.00 to a buyer in December 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Collection de Monsieur & Madame Robert Schmit | Œuvres choisies – Session I at Sothebys in Paris and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of EUR 10,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Louis Forain achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La femme aux affiches in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,692,500.00 (€ 1,450,299.91).
