Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Study for "The Actress" by Thomas Eakins was worth USD 100,900.00 (€ 76,041.90) to a buyer in December 2010. This price was achieved in the auction Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Eakins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cowboys in the Badlands in May 2003 with an auction result of USD 5,383,500.00 (€ 4,575,471.70).
