Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work The Virgin and Child, after Schedoni by Antoine Watteau was worth USD 107,550.00 (€ 100,148.99) to a buyer in January 2003. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & 19th Century Drawings including Works on Paper at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 35,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Antoine Watteau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Pèlerinage a l’Ile de Cythère in January this year with an auction result of USD 1,860,000.00 (€ 1,713,022.66).
