This artwork by David Seymour achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in February 2007. In the Photographs From The Estate of Thomas T. Solley auction, the work Bernard Berenson, Rome, 1955 sold for USD 3,840.00 (€ 2,902.49) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Seymour - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Prostitute near the Krupp works, West Germany, Essen, which sold at auction in March 2010 for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,894.31).
