$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.
"Les Jades Chinois" (The Chinese Jades) from 1941 depicts Chinese jade objects — the carved green stone that holds the highest cultural prestige in Chinese material culture, associated with virtue, immortality, and the connection between heaven and earth. Jacoulet's still-life of jade objects would have been an unusual subject for a printmaker whose primary mode was portraiture, suggesting either a specific commission or a personal fascination with Chinese material culture.
