This artwork by Mortimer Luddington Menpes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2010. In the Travel, Science and Natural History auction, the work Scenes in India: Stall holders; A Meat Shop in Peshawur; A Minstrels' Balcony; and A busy street scene sold for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,168.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mortimer Luddington Menpes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Benares, Blue Is The Sky in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 33,189.42).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Mortimer Luddington Menpes erzielte im September 2010 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Travel, Science and Natural History wurde die Arbeit Scenes in India: Stall holders; A Meat Shop in Peshawur; A Minstrels' Balcony; and A busy street scene für GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.168,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mortimer Luddington Menpes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Benares, Blue Is The Sky im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 33.189,42).
