		</div><p>A rare painting by Vincent Van Gogh was sold at auction by Sotheby’s Paris for 13.1 million euros (£11.2 million).</p>
<p>The sale of Street Scene In Montmartre was highly anticipated as it was one of the few paintings by the Dutch Impressionist master to still have been in private hands.</p>
<p>The auction house had expected it to sell for between five million euros and eight million euros.</p>
<p>Sotheby’s said the work had remained in the same family collection for more than 100 years, out of the public eye.</p>
<p>It depicts a windmill named the Pepper Mill, seen from the street under a bright sky, with a man, a women and a little girl walking in front of wooden palisades that surrounded the place.</p>
<p>It was painted in 1887, one year after Van Gogh moved to Paris and lived in Montmartre while he was lodging with his brother Theo.</p>
<p>He left the French capital in 1888 for southern France, where he lived until his death in 1890.</p>
<p>It was among over 30 works being sold by Sotheby’s on Thursday from masters including Modigliani, Rodin, Camille Claudel, Degas, Klee and Magritte.</p>
