This artwork by Rudolf Swoboda achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April 2016. In the The Orientalist Sale auction, the work Austriana Cairene Courtyard sold for GBP 395,000.00 (€ 504,927.45) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 180,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rudolf Swoboda - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The carpet menders, which sold at auction in July 2008 for GBP 1,161,250.00 (€ 1,475,381.20).
