Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by James Brereton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2007. In the Maritime auction, the work The clipper Argonaut running free in the moonlight sold for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,900.91) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by James Brereton; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Cornish breakers sold at auction in May 2012 with the realized price of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,344.67).
