$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.
"Young Girl of Jaluit, Marshalls" edition 100 of 150 from 1939 depicts a young woman or girl from Jaluit Atoll in the Marshall Islands — a significant administrative center in the Japanese-mandated South Seas before the war. Jaluit's children, like the subjects of so many Jacoulet Pacific portraits, are rendered with the warmth and care that makes his portraiture more than documentation: this is a specific young person seen with genuine attention, not a representative "Pacific Islander" type. The near-complete edition number places this impression late in the print's distribution.
