The work Study for Napoléon on horseback from Campagne de France, 1814 by Ernest Meissonier was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2016. It achieved a price of USD 40,000.00 (€ 36,489.69), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernest Meissonier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French les Deux Amis in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 442,000.00 (€ 418,481.35).
