This artwork by Maggie Laubser achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2008. In the Impressionist and Modern Art including Latin American and Russian Art auction, the work Malay Boy With Pigeons sold for USD 110,500.00 (€ 87,131.37) - well above the upper estimate of USD 40,000.00.
