This artwork by Pierre-Paul Prud'Hon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2020. In the Old Master Day Sale including Old Master Paintings, Drawings and British Works on Paper auction, the work L’Âme Brisant Les Liens Qui L’Attachent À La Terre (The Soul Breaking The Ties That Bind It To Earth) sold for GBP 93,750.00 (€ 104,570.98) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 40,000.00.
