The work The arrival of President Prieto at La Pampilla by Johann Moritz Rugendas was worth GBP 485,000.00 (€ 567,043.69) to a buyer in December 2016. This price was achieved in the auction Topographical Pictures at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 150,000.00 many times over.
