$2,000–$20,000. Common subjects: $2,000–$5,000. Key value factors: Jacoulet's limited editions (typically 350 impressions) and distinctive subjects make his work consistently sought after.
"Bergers des Hautes Montagnes" (Shepherds of the High Mountains) from April 1941 depicts Korean mountain shepherds — figures from the rugged interior highlands of the peninsula, their clothing and tools adapted to a high-altitude pastoral life that contrasted sharply with the modernity of Seoul. Jacoulet's encounter with these remote communities reflects his consistent interest in peoples and ways of life at the margins of the transformations reshaping Asia in the 1930s and 1940s. The mountain setting gives the composition dramatic altitude and clear air.
