The work Head of a young girl by Jean-Baptiste Greuze was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings including property from The Cornelia Bessie Estate auction at Christies in New York in January 2021. It achieved a price of USD 13,750.00 (€ 11,330.86), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 38%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Baptiste Greuze achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Hermit, Or The Distributor Of Rosaries in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 1,082,500.00 (€ 827,662.67).
