Record Price for Rembrandt.

A work of Rembrandt (‘‘Womani Plucking a Fowl”) recently sold in. Paris for $95,000, appears to hold the record price for that artist’s work. The same picture was sold in Amsterdam In 1734 (it was probably painted about' 1640) for S7O. In 1845 in London It brought about $1,625, and in 1884 was sold in Paris, to the family which haa now resold it, for about $2,800. -The previous record price for a Rembrandt was that paid for the "Girl Holding & Medal," In a the Hoe collection, sold here last year for $70,000. —New York Press.
