About this work

Interior of an auction hall with a man holding a sculpture of the Venus de Milo. The auctioneer notes that the arms of the statue are missing, but they will be sent if found. One of the attendees suggests Jules Féral, or the scene is a reference to his work as an expert. The print is part of a magazine.
