A top price for Émile Edmond Peynot
When the work A Seated Arab Cleaning His Weapons by Émile Edmond Peynot was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 52,875.00 (€ 56,684.18). This high result makes A Seated Arab Cleaning His Weapons the most expensive artwork by Émile Edmond Peynot that we have observed at auctions so far.
