While the sale as a whole didn&#8217;t do as well as Sotheby&#8217;s specialists estimated, there were still some beautiful works up for grabs, some of which went for some unexpected prices. Sotheby&#8217;s experts put their faith in Jean-L\u00e9on G\u00e9r\u00f4me&#8217;s <i>Veiled Beauty<\/i>. This one painting makes it clear that some late nineteenth-century French people were rather uninformed about the various cultures represented in the art they bought. Throughout the painting&#8217;s life in catalogues and exhibitions, it was called <i>The Mysterious Algerian Woman<\/i> and <i>Woman of Constantinople<\/i>. Well, which one is it? Those are two very different places separated by 1400 miles. But it doesn&#8217;t matter since one of the points of Orientalism was to portray an exotic other, often disregarding the actual people and cultures to make something beautiful for European canvases (w\/p = with buyer&#8217;s premium).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44597\" style=\"width: 284px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/l22100-782hy-01-t1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44597\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/l22100-782hy-01-t1-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"A nineteenth-century Cairo street scene by David Roberts sold at Sotheby's\" width=\"274\" height=\"354\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-44597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The Bazaar of the Coppersmiths<\/em> by David Roberts<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sadly, <i>A Veiled Beauty<\/i> fell just short of its \u00a3250K minimum estimate, going for \u00a3220K \/ $287.8K (or \u00a3277.2K \/ $362.7K). G\u00e9r\u00f4me&#8217;s work instead enjoyed second place right behind the unexpected star of the auction: David Roberts&#8217;s <i>The Bazaar of the Coppersmiths, Cairo<\/i>. The bazaar painting was part of a series of Cairo street scenes created by Roberts during the 1840s, with one currently in the British royal family&#8217;s collection. <i>The Bazaar of the Coppersmiths<\/i> was originally expected to go for \u00a380K maximum. So it came as a great surprise when it soared past its estimate and reached \u00a3320K \/ $418.7K (or \u00a3403.2K \/ $527.5K), exactly four times what Sotheby&#8217;s experts predicted. Third place went to <i>Sunset on the Nile<\/i> by <a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/bio\/charles-th%C3%A9odore-fr%C3%A8re\/\">Charles Th\u00e9odore Fr\u00e8re<\/a>, exceeding its \u00a380K high estimate, though not as exponentially as the Roberts work. The six-foot-wide oil painting, which sold for \u00a3105K \/ $137.4K (or \u00a3132.3K \/ $173.1K), is a gorgeous study in orange and black. The women collecting water on the riverbank, the herd of camels and cattle off in the distance, and the felucca boat gracefully floating by are all silhouettes when put against the warm glow of the Egyptian sun, which has just disappeared below the horizon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44603\" style=\"width: 289px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/l22100-c5qgp-01-t1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44603\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/l22100-c5qgp-01-t1-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"A landscape painting of a sunset on the Nile River in Egypt sold at Sotheby's\" width=\"279\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-44603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Sunset on the Nile<\/em> by <a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/bio\/charles-th%C3%A9odore-fr%C3%A8re\/\">Charles Th\u00e9odore Fr\u00e8re<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>While <i>Bazaar of the Coppersmiths<\/i> was the biggest surprise of the sale, it wasn&#8217;t the only one.
