In December 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS AND ILLUST, which included the work Indian dancing girl by Kay Rasmus Nielsen. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 822.50 (€ 1,343.85), 37% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Kay Rasmus Nielsen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep in July 2018 with an auction result of GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,886.40).

Im Dezember 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS AND ILLUST durch, in der auch die Arbeit Indian dancing girl von Kay Rasmus Nielsen zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 822,50 (€ 1.343,85) und damit 37% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kay Rasmus Nielsen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep im Juli 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.250,00 (€ 5.886,40).
