In June 2015 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work Female head study, looking up by William Blake Richmond. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 6,250.00 (€ 8,812.42), 25% above the upper estimate.

Im Juni 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Female head study, looking up von William Blake Richmond zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 8.812,42) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Blake Richmond auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Watchers im September 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 72.500,00 (€ 81.426,82).
