The work The Taj Mahal from the banks of the Yamuna River by John Sutton was sold in the Travel, Science and Natural History auction at Christies in London in April 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,226.47), 43% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by John Sutton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Britannia, Westward, Lulworth and White Heather racing in Christchurch Bay with the Needles beyond, 1927 in February 2005 with an auction result of USD 7,200.00 (€ 5,424.14).
