Related works: A very similar study for “Getting Up” (55.2 x 43 cm) sold on May 8th 2014 at Sotheby's New York (lot 388) for $50,000. It is listed as D844 in the catalogue raisonné, which suggests that it was done just after ours. A larger (103 x 68.5 cm) and more accomplished study sold for 650,000 FRF (hammer price - equivalent to 99,000 €) at Briest in Drouot Montaigne on June 17th 1997 (lot 19).
