A top price for Sarah Bernhardt

The work Ophelia by Sarah Bernhardt was worth GBP 308,750.00 (€ 361,352.07) to a buyer in February 2017. This price was achieved in the auction Erotic: Passion & Desire at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 70,000.00 many times over. This high result makes Ophelia the most expensive artwork by Sarah Bernhardt that we have observed at auctions so far.
