Sotheby's New York. This bid was tantamount to the top pre-sale estimate of $ 150,000. Harlamoff studied painting in St Petersburg and won a gold medal and a travel scholarship in 1868 for his painting "The Return of the Prodigal Son". This enabled him to go to Paris, where he remained, working with the great portrait painter and teacher at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Léon Bonnat. His work was exhibited in the Russian section of the Décennale Exhibition, part of the Universal Exhibition held in Paris in 1900. A renowned official portraitist in his day, Harlamoff is today best remembered for his informal portraits of young peasant girls, chosen for their beauty and innocence. "The Little Flower Girls" is a rare example in Harlamoff's œuvre of a painting of two figures.
