In November 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale, which included the work Un Défenseur Habile by Honoré Daumier. The »bidding war« ended at USD 375,000.00 (€ 340,321.26), 25% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Honoré Daumier have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Les Avocats — Le Parquet Des Avocats in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 2,629,000.00 (€ 2,024,176.16).
