February 6, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Lot 165 - Seurat - Mendiant Hindou (1)

 

J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles has emerged as the buyer of Georges Seurat’s Mendiant hindou from the Personal Collection of Jan Krugier. Held to be among the greatest drawings Seurat produced, the haunting depiction of an Indian begger dates from a key transitional moment in the artist’s career. It sold today for £2,434,500 / US$ 3,971,643 against an estimate of £80,000-£120,000 (US$129,000- 194,000)
