A portrait of the Gallagher brothers from before their Oasis reunion is up for auction for two million euros.

The Gallagher brothers are back . After a 15-year relationship and an abrupt end, Oasis announced their reconciliation and a celebratory tour. The fervor surrounding this pivotal '90s band hasn't subsided: Sotheby's has announced the auction of a portrait of the pair next week, which is estimated to fetch more than two million euros .

The painting 'Liam + Noel (Gallagher)' by Elizabeth Peyton is based on a photographic portrait of the two taken in 1996, at the height of the band's success, just a year after the release of their album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?', arguably their magnum opus. The painting shows Liam resting his chin on Noel's shoulder, both dressed in blue against a blue background, and depicts them "in a moment of intimacy and repose," according to the major auction platform.

The work will be offered at Sotheby's Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction in London on June 24, with an estimate of £1.5 million to £2 million ( $2 million to $2.69 million ). It measures 66 by 56 centimeters and is painted in oil on canvas.

Peyton's painting, which in its subject matter and color scheme might recall Andy Warhol 's works, resembles "a candid snapshot from the Gallagher family photo album. Its depiction glosses over the aura surrounding their fame and public life, delving into their personal stories in a portrait devoid of voyeurism and the intrusive gaze of the media," reads the Sotheby's product description.

Oasis debuted in 1994 with 'Definitely Maybe' before achieving international stardom with their second studio album, '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?', which sold 22 million copies worldwide and marked the band's breakthrough in the United States. However, the Gallaghers' ill-fated relationship often made headlines.

The morbid curiosity surrounding their breakup at the height of their success—sometimes with live arguments that escalated to physical violence —congealed into a mythological obsession with everything Oasis-related. Their reconciliation has been no exception, with British media estimating that more than two million euros in money was swindled from fans through the sale of counterfeit tickets.
