The work Jeff Raleigh'S Piano Solo ("'Oh Lord,' Jeff Said Prayerfully, 'I Wish Alice Was Here. Oh, I Wish She Could Hear This...'") (The Virtuoso) by Norman Rockwell was sold in the American Art auction at Christies in New York in May 2021. It achieved a price of USD 2,910,000.00 (€ 2,386,419.55), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 62%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Norman Rockwell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Saying Grace in December 2013 with an auction result of USD 46,085,000.00 (€ 33,445,823.35).
