This artwork by Maher Raief achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April 2017. In the 20th Century Art/ Middle East auction, the work Egyptian untitled  sold for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,617.37) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Maher Raief; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot without title sold at auction in October 2019 with the realized price of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,198.57).
