When the work Portrait Of Laurence Davidson And His Three Sons, Three-Quarter Length, Standing By Ruins, His Sons Seated Around Him, One Holding A Fishing Rod, The Other Holding A Cricket Bat by Eugène Devéria was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over.

This high result makes Portrait Of Laurence Davidson And His Three Sons, Three-Quarter Length, Standing By Ruins, His Sons Seated Around Him, One Holding A Fishing Rod, The Other Holding A Cricket Bat the most expensive artwork by Eugène Devéria that we have observed at auctions so far.
