This artwork by François Lemoyne achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. In the The Collection of Ambassador and Mrs. Felix Rohatyn auction, the work Recto: Head Of A Woman Turning To Her Right, Verso: Head Study Of A Woman In Profile sold for USD 27,720.00 (€ 23,800.12) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by François Lemoyne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Adam Et Eve in June 2009 with an auction result of EUR 1,296,750.00.
