    LOL when he said ‘that’s very US but we’ll take it’ after someone bid 19,250,000, that (clearly american) guy sitting down got so mad when he realised what was just said. shaking his head every so often, deep in a sulk, motioning to a fellow american across the room for solidarity hahahahaha

    To be honest, I would be more happy for the rest of my life if I gave that money to those in need-more so than seeing this painting on the wall till the day I die- not a great work of art-the artists name increases the price-for investment purposes.

    I don't care for Renoir, and this is one of his less attractive works IMO.
  • @shadowfilm7980
    Not too excited about this painting. Other ones of his are much better.
