    Agreed, I can’t see the attraction of this painting.

    On looking it up it sold for over £91,000 at Christie’s and I can’t see why.

    It’s a view from a window in Boulogne and the French tricolour on the right hand side is the wrong way round, with the red portion on flagpole side instead of the blue?

    Just such a trivial mistake to make and sums up the painting for me as sloppy and badly executed.

      91,000bruutishpounds for old french(?) stuff is indeed Trash tier of old art

      I much expect my own pieces value will inflate exprapfiantly when i expire and am seen as a millsnial artist from the pre 2000s
