This artwork by Gustave Alaux achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2010. In the Travel, Science and Natural History auction, the work Figures on a quayside with shipping beyond, Brazil sold for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,951.67) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00.
