A top price for Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ

In April 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction The Orientalist Sale, which included the work French the Sentinel by Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 137,500.00 (€ 163,283.62), 72% above the upper estimate. This high result makes French the Sentinel the most expensive artwork by Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ that we have observed at auctions so far.
