$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.
"Retour de la Jungle, Tondao, Célèbes" (Return from the Jungle, Tondao, Celebes) from 1948 depicts figures from the interior of Sulawesi returning from the forest — a subject that combines landscape implication with portraiture in a scene of physical exertion and homecoming. Tondao is in the mountainous interior of North Sulawesi, and the jungle return subject gives Jacoulet a moment of transition: people moving between the wild interior and the settled world of the village, carrying with them whatever they have found or hunted.
