This artwork by Apollinari Mikhailovich Vasnetsov achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2006. In the Property fromthe Collection of Ambassador Charles R. Crane auction, the work Old Moscow: The Floating Bridge And Walls of The White City In 1661 sold for USD 57,600.00 (€ 45,627.38) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Apollinari Mikhailovich Vasnetsov achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Old Veliky Novgorod in November 2017 with an auction result of GBP 848,750.00 (€ 963,457.51).
