This artwork by Mahmoud Moussa achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in May last year. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including On The Banks of the NileA Journey Through Egyptian Art auction, the work The Goat sold for GBP 17,850.00 (€ 20,998.83) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mahmoud Moussa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Egyptian Woman, which sold at auction in March 2016 for USD 52,500.00 (€ 46,093.06).
