This artwork by George Stanfield Walters achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2001. In the British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings auction, the work Fishing vessels off Dordrecht harbour sold for GBP 2,820.00 (€ 4,553.10) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00.

'tis but to hold Converse with Nature's charms, and view her stores unrolled.', which sold at auction in June 2000 for GBP 8,812.50 (€ 13,968.90).
