The work German a Harem Beauty At Her Toilette by Paul Emil Jacobs was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2013. The »bidding war« ended at USD 140,000.00 (€ 102,895.78), 56% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Paul Emil Jacobs; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot German The Pasha'S Favourite (Ali Pasha And Kira Vassiliki) sold at auction in April 2008 with the realized price of GBP 114,500.00 (€ 145,971.32).
