This artwork by Walter Ernest Webster achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2012. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Portrait of a lady, seated, three-quarter-length, in a brown cowl neck dress sold for GBP 4,000.00 (€ 5,094.92) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00.
