This artwork by Jean-Baptiste Weyler achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2000. In the Miniatures auction, the work A fine miniature of a young lady, facing right in lace-bordered low-cut white silk dress with white striped skirt, pink sash, long powdered curling hair, her right hand raised to her face; leaning on a stone plinth strewn with pink roses and flowers, sold for GBP 21,150.00 (€ 33,937.95) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00.
