The work The Seamstresses by Raphael Soyer was sold in the Living with Art auction at Christies in New York in October 2016. It achieved a price of USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,385.15), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Raphael Soyer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Passerby, which sold at auction in December 2009 for USD 86,500.00 (€ 60,354.45).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.385,15) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 42%. Für andere Arbeiten von Raphael Soyer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Passerby beobachtet, die im Dezember 2009 für USD 86.500,00 (€ 60.354,45) versteigert wurde.
