This artwork by Henry Bishop achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2005. In the 20th Century British Art auction, the work St Mark'S Square, Venice sold for GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,188.84) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Bishop - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bridge before the Salute, Venice, which sold at auction in October 2003 for GBP 5,170.00 (€ 7,551.26).
