This artwork by Margaret Murray Cookesley achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2007. In the 19th Century European Art & Orientalist Art auction, the work Negotiating in the Souk sold for USD 22,800.00 (€ 16,691.07) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Margaret Murray Cookesley; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A Restful Moment by the Lion Fountain at the Alhambra, Spain sold at auction in April 2007 with the realized price of USD 28,800.00 (€ 21,083.46).
