This artwork by Mortimer Luddington Menpes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in September 2021. In the An Aesthetic Odyssey: The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection auction, the work The Potter sold for GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,089.53) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mortimer Luddington Menpes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Benares, Blue Is The Sky, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 33,189.42).
