Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
The work The Old Almanac by Jefferson David Chalfant was worth USD 52,500.00 (€ 47,588.83) to a buyer in June 2016. This price was achieved in the auction American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jefferson David Chalfant achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Old Flintlock (The Old Horse Pistol) in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 722,500.00 (€ 519,074.65).
