“It has been sold to a museum outside the European Union,” said Bill Rau, president of the M.S. Rau Gallery who had put the painting up for sale.Dutch national news agency ANP however said the asking price “was matched by the sales price”. Van Gogh painted the work around 1884 while living with his parents in the southern Dutch town of Nuenen, the year before he completed his other famous work from the period, “The Potato Eaters”.Visitors to the fair, known as TEFAF, are able to marvel at a treasure trove of paintings, sculptures and jewellery — all up for sale until Thursday.
