A top price for John Talbott Donoghue - as previously expected

The work 'The Young Sophocles Leading the Chorus of Victory after the Battle of Salamis' by John Talbott Donoghue was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in December 2008. The price achieved of USD 30,000.00 (€ 21,553.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, 'The Young Sophocles Leading the Chorus of Victory after the Battle of Salamis' is the most expensive artwork by John Talbott Donoghue that we have observed at auctions so far.
