In May 2012 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work Hungarian flirt (La Broderie) by Mihály Munkácsy. The »bidding war« ended at USD 212,500.00 (€ 171,869.95), 42% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mihály Munkácsy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Two Families, which sold at auction in October 2003 for USD 662,700.00 (€ 570,850.20).
