This artwork by Henry King Taylor achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2005. In the MARITIME PICTURES auction, the work A merchant brig heaving-to off a lighthouse sold for GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,303.05) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry King Taylor - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shipping in a heavy swell in the Channel off Dover, which sold at auction in November 2011 for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,128.84).
