The Getty Museum in Los Angeles has acquired a pastel of Madame Charles Mitoire with Her Children (1783) by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. The art work achieved €644,000 (inc. fees) over its €100k - €150k estimate at the Women in Art Sale Christie's Paris.

Both Sotheby's and Christie's inaugural female artists sales seem to have achieved some rather impressive results. The Sotheby's sale totalled £4,570,100 (inc. fees), and the Christie's sale realised a total of €3,090,750 (inc. fees). With these rather encouraging totals, we'll wait and see if these sales become a regular feature.
