This artwork by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2012. In the 19th Century European Art including Orientalist Art auction, the work Young lady in a white dress sold for GBP 79,250.00 (€ 97,627.96) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red and white grapes and silver tableware on a marble ledge, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 301,250.00 (€ 362,219.18).
