Daria Khristova, Bonhams Specialist, commented: “There were also women looking from afar off was part of the series of paintings entitled The Life of Christ, completed by Polenov in late 1890 and early 1900s, which he considered to be his life’s work. Referred to by his contemporaries as the ‘Knight of beauty’, it is no wonder that this work excited collectors and we are absolutely delighted it achieved such a fantastic price.”
