Upper estimate price exceeded by 52 %.
In April 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction The Orientalist Sale, which included the work Hungarian the Learned Man Of Cairo by Arthur von Ferraris. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 182,500.00 (€ 215,360.53), 52% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur von Ferraris - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Austrian Driving A Bargain, Cairo , which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 1,049,000.00 (€ 673,818.09).
