This artwork by Max Rabes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in November 2009. In the 19th Century European Paintings including Spanish Painting, The Orientalist Sale, and German, Austrian, Scandinavian and Symbolist Works auction, the work German Fasching (Carnival) sold for GBP 14,375.00 (€ 15,731.58) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00.
