Published on , by La Gazette Drouot

A milliner made in 1890 by Émile Friant – one of the masters of naturalism from the period of 1880-1900 – achieved the second highest auction result for a work by the French artist (source: Artnet); selling for €324,030 it also established a new world record for a pastel.
