A top price for Théodore Rousseau - as previously expected
The work Le chêne de roche by Théodore Rousseau was sold in the European Art: Part I auction at Christies in New York in October 2018. The price achieved of USD 468,500.00 (€ 413,430.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Le chêne de roche is the most expensive artwork by Théodore Rousseau that we have observed at auctions so far.

Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 468.500,00 (€ 413.430,99) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Le chêne de roche das teuerste Kunstwerk von Théodore Rousseau, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
