This artwork by Charles Robertson, R.W.S. achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in August 2003. In the British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper auction, the work Fishing vessels in the Grand Harbour, Valetta sold for GBP 1,292.50 (€ 1,855.69) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Robertson, R.W.S. achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Street of the Ghoreeyah, Cairo in October 2020 with an auction result of GBP 150,062.50 (€ 166,631.61).
