A top price for Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues

The work Two narcissi and a columbine, a dragonfly and a stag beetle by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings auction at Christies in New York in January 2019. Here, the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 137,500.00 (€ 120,045.40).
