This artwork by Robert Melville Grindlay achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in February 2021. In the Travel & Exploration auction, the work Scenery, Costumes and Architecture, Chiefly on the Western Side of India, parts 1-2 & 4-6 only (of 6) bound in 1 vol., R. Ackermann, 1826-1830 sold for GBP 8,925.00 (€ 10,293.31) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Robert Melville Grindlay; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Scenery, Costumes and Architecture chiefly on the Western Side of India sold at auction in September 2007 with the realized price of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 16,131.67).
