This artwork by William Frater achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Melbourne in May 2003. In the AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS auction, the work Self Portrait sold for AUD 3,760.00 (€ 2,081.33) - well above the upper estimate of AUD 2,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Frater; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Near Trawool sold at auction in August 2001 with the realized price of AUD 5,640.00 (€ 3,274.18).
