Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.975,55) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alois Gustav Rockstuhl auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Unknown im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.418,73).
