This artwork by Marie-Gabrielle Capet achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January last year. In the Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries auction, the work An Allegory of Poetry sold for USD 13,860.00 (€ 12,361.76) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Marie-Gabrielle Capet; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait De François-André Vincent sold at auction in November 2017 with the realized price of EUR 15,600.00.

In der Auktion Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries wurde die Arbeit An Allegory of Poetry für USD 13.860,00 (€ 12.361,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00.
