This artwork by Mahmoud Mokhtar achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in October 2020. In the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction, the work Au Bord Du Nil (Ala Shat Elnil / On The Banks Of The Nile) sold for GBP 352,800.00 (€ 391,754.31) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mahmoud Mokhtar - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Egyptian au Bord Du Nil (Ala Shat Elnil / On The Banks Of The Nile), which sold at auction in April 2016 for GBP 725,000.00 (€ 926,765.58).
