Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Alexander Nasmyth achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2012. In the Old Masters & British Paintings auction, the work A view of Loch Tay, from the West, at Killin, with travellers on a path and a village beyond sold for GBP 43,250.00 (€ 53,887.60) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alexander Nasmyth; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot View of Dreghorn Castle, Midlothian, with figures and a hay cart in the foreground sold at auction in October 2005 with the realized price of GBP 72,000.00 (€ 106,178.24).
