The work A Venetian Night's Entertainment ("The two young men were presently hobnobbing over a glass of canary...") by Maxfield Parrish was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2018. It achieved a price of USD 2,052,500.00 (€ 1,812,682.15), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 37%.
