This artwork by Dorothy Wilding achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2006. In the Silver, Furniture and Works of Art from the Collection of H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon auction, the work H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, 1952 sold for GBP 960.00 (€ 1,389.10) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00.
