114 GAZETTE DROUOT INTERNATIONAL I N° 25<br />
World record for a<br />
Daubigny drawing<br />
€72,570<br />
At €72,570, the high estimate<br />
of €1,800 was decidedly crushed on<br />
10 April at Drouot (Ferri) for a charcoal<br />
drawing by Charles-François<br />
Daubigny of around 1867, "L’Arbre<br />
aux corbeaux" (33 x 48 cm). This<br />
drawing was engraved by the artist.<br />
It posted a world record for one of<br />
his drawings, beating a landscape<br />
on the banks of the Seine sold by<br />
Sotheby's in Monaco in December<br />
1989 (FF133,200, i.e. €30,692). Forecasts<br />
were practically doubled, at<br />
€68,816, for a sanguine with<br />
graphite highlights on tracing paper<br />
by Honoré Daumier, from 1867,<br />
"Déplacement de saltimbanques"<br />
(36 x 26 cm). This is a study for the<br />
final version of the work now in the<br />
Wadsworth Atheneum. S. A.
