In May 2000 Christies in London held the auction Miniatures, which included the work A young lady, full face in lace-bordered white dress, floral embroidered white stole draped over her right shoulder, coral necklace and earrings and gem-set gold ferronnière, her fair hair dressed in curls and plaited and a curl falling to her left by Peter Mayr. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 940.00 (€ 1,508.35), 18% above the upper estimate. With this result, A young lady, full face in lace-bordered white dress, floral embroidered white stole draped over her right shoulder, coral necklace and earrings and gem-set gold ferronnière, her fair hair dressed in curls and plaited and a curl falling to her left is even the most expensive work of art by Peter Mayr that we have observed at auctions so far.
