In September 2020 Christies in New York held the auction South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art, which included the work The Peasants by Jehangir Sabavala. The »bidding war« ended at USD 966,000.00 (€ 824,372.76), 61% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jehangir Sabavala; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Embarkation sold at auction in September 2021 with the realized price of USD 1,590,000.00 (€ 1,373,412.80).
