This artwork by Nicolas Lancret achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in December 2020. In the Old Master Paintings auction, the work Study of a standing lady, and a subsidiary study of a head sold for GBP 9,562.50 (€ 10,682.16) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicolas Lancret achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Winter in February 2018 with an auction result of USD 2,655,000.00 (€ 2,174,269.10).
