Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work The Luxborough Galley on fire by John Cleveley the Elder was worth GBP 5,760.00 (€ 8,476.23) to a buyer in May 2007. This price was achieved in the auction Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Cleveley the Elder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work King George Iii Reviewing The Fleet At Spithead, Off Portsmouth Harbour in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 290,500.00 (€ 373,969.84).
