A landscape on the outskirts of Vence was awarded to Christie's for nearly 20,000 guilders (around 10,000 euros) in 2000. Bearing on the back the title "the burg", fortified castle in German, it could be 'act here of a very allegorical representation of the eminently mythical and picturesque fortified village of Saint Paul de Vence seen below; topped with its stately tower also called the tower of the town hall or keep of Saint Paul de Vence, vestige dating from the thirteenth century of an old medieval castle.
