This artwork by George Chinnery achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Paris in July this year. In the Remastered: Old Masters from the Collection of J.E. Safra - Selling Without Reserve auction, the work The Grotto of Camões, Macau sold for GBP 138,600.00 (€ 161,704.19) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Chinnery - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Reeves Macao Album, 1836-1837, which sold at auction in July 2006 for GBP 332,800.00 (€ 487,180.19).
