This artwork by John Cleveley the Younger achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2004. In the Exploration and Travel with The Polar Sale auction, the work Dunkirk With A View of The Church & Belfry, Now Removed (From A Drawing Made On The Spot For Mr John Borlase Warre) sold for GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,830.12) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Cleveley the Younger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Views In The South Seas (4) in September 2004 with an auction result of GBP 318,850.00 (€ 464,524.16).

Dieses Kunstwerk von John Cleveley the Younger erzielte im September 2004 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Exploration and Travel with The Polar Sale wurde die Arbeit Dunkirk With A View of The Church & Belfry, Now Removed (From A Drawing Made On The Spot For Mr John Borlase Warre) für GBP 2.629,00 (€ 3.830,12) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Cleveley the Younger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Views In The South Seas (4) im September 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 318.850,00 (€ 464.524,16).
