This artwork by Fernand Cormon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2011. In the Old Master & 19th Century European Art auction, the work A Friend'S Lunch sold for USD 37,500.00 (€ 27,342.33) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Fernand Cormon; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot French Still Life With Coffee Service And Hookah sold at auction in May 2008 with the realized price of GBP 26,900.00 (€ 34,217.98).
