| The painting shown above was sold at the Sotheby's 2007 Orientalist Sale, it was lot 35 and sold for 216.250 EUR (nearly $300.000 USD). According to the auction data, this is a very large painting, more like a mural, being 3 x 4 meters in size. It is an early work by Tanoux, who would have been only about 22 and possibly still a student of Leon Bonnat. Note that the frame I have selected for this digital reproduction is not in keeping with the size of the actual painting, the reader must try to imagine that he is seeing a miniture version of the original. |
