This artwork by Charles Robert Leslie achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2019. In the British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work Dressed for a ball (recto); and A scribe (verso) sold for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,175.88) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Robert Leslie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sancho Panza in the Apartment of the Duchess, which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 14,340.00 (€ 20,935.95).
