His work appears regularly at major auction houses (Sotheby's, Christie's, Freeman's, Hindman) and is held in private collections internationally; his record price at auction is $6,000 (Freeman's Hindman, 2007), and signed and dated late works of substantial scale are sought after by collectors of 19th-century French academic painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocumented provenance markings:\u003c\/strong\u003e a stenciled \"104\" appears in the lower left of the front (likely an old auction lot number); an early French paper gallery or auction label is affixed to the back of the frame; and the canvas stretcher bears handwritten inventory notations on the verso.
