Sold at the lower estimate price
The work French Two Sisters (Study For "The Promises" In The Enrollment Of The Volunteers Of 1792) by Thomas Couture was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2019. The result of USD 60,000.00 (€ 52,728.71) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Couture - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Study For 'The Decadence Of The Romans', which sold at auction in January 2013 for USD 182,500.00 (€ 134,349.23).
