A top price for Jean-Baptiste Greuze - as previously expected
The work The Hermit, Or The Distributor Of Rosaries by Jean-Baptiste Greuze was sold in the Important Old Master Paintings and Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in February 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,082,500.00 (€ 827,662.67) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Hermit, Or The Distributor Of Rosaries is the most expensive artwork by Jean-Baptiste Greuze that we have observed at auctions so far.
