A top price for Louis Finson
In May 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Old Masters, which included the work The Annunciation by Louis Finson. The »bidding war« ended at USD 212,500.00 (€ 190,600.05), 42% above the upper estimate. With this result, The Annunciation is even the most expensive work of art by Louis Finson that we have observed at auctions so far.
