The work A Study Of A Young Girl In Ottoman Dress, Reclining by John Frederick Lewis was sold in the Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection auction at Sothebys in London in July 2016. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 47,500.00 (€ 56,440.28), 58% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Frederick Lewis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Midday Meal, Cairo in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 2,472,000.00 (€ 3,663,660.11).
