This artwork by Mortimer Luddington Menpes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in March 2021. In the 19th Century and British Impressionist Art auction, the work Japanese children by firelight sold for GBP 9,562.50 (€ 11,233.47) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. 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).
