Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

The work The Trusted Guide by Rudolf Swoboda was worth GBP 88,200.00 (€ 104,493.18) to a buyer in October 2021. This price was achieved in the auction The Orientalist Sale at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rudolf Swoboda achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The carpet menders in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 1,161,250.00 (€ 1,475,381.20).
