The work Three girls preparing to bathe by Robert Anning Bell was sold in the Victorian & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in December 2011. It achieved a price of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,982.31), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Anning Bell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Four Reliefs: A Mermaid; The Fortune Teller; And The Ball Of Wool (Two Linked Designs), which sold at auction in September 2021 for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,270.28).
