Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Praying In The Blue Mosque, Cairo by Ludwig Deutsch was sold in the Important Works from the Najd Collection auction at Sothebys in London in October 2019. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,695,000.00 (€ 1,966,078.44). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ludwig Deutsch - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Tribute, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 4,298,400.00 (€ 4,985,835.73).
