The work Portrait of a lady, three-quarter-length, dressed for a ball by Alfred Edward Chalon was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 625.00 (€ 897.54), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred Edward Chalon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ballerinas of the last century: "The Three Graces" - Marie Taglioni, Carlotta Grisi and Amalia Ferraris, which sold at auction in December 2004 for GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,536.88).
