The work French Fishermen On The Bosphorus Near Scutari, With The Selimiye Barracks Beyond by Fabius Brest was sold in the The Orientalist Sale auction at Sothebys in London in April 2014. It achieved a price of GBP 134,500.00 (€ 163,717.63), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fabius Brest - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Le Beiram; cérémonie de baise-main à Constantinople, sous le Sultan Mahmoud II, which sold at auction in October 2005 for USD 598,400.00 (€ 498,874.53).
