This artwork by Édouard Frédéric Wilhelm Richter achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2019. In the European Art: 19th Century & Orientalist Art auction, the work In the Harem sold for GBP 45,000.00 (€ 53,184.73) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Édouard Frédéric Wilhelm Richter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shéhérazade, which sold at auction in November 2001 for USD 160,000.00 (€ 178,611.30).

In der Auktion European Art: 19th Century & Orientalist Art wurde die Arbeit In the Harem für GBP 45.000,00 (€ 53.184,73) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00.
