The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,920.00 (€ 2,825.41), 60% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Luca Papaluca - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Royal Yacht Squadron'S Steam Yacht Venetia In Neapolitan Waters (Illustrated); And At Sea, which sold at auction in May 2006 for GBP 5,760.00 (€ 8,407.72).
