This artwork by Raouf Rifai achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in May last year. In the Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art including On The Banks of the NileA Journey Through Egyptian Art auction, the work Darwiche sold for GBP 14,025.00 (€ 16,499.08) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Raouf Rifai; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Harmony sold at auction in October 2011 with the realized price of USD 31,250.00 (€ 22,406.25).
