Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Nicholas Pocock achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April last year. In the Old Master Paintings auction, the work Engagement between the French frigate Cléopâtre and HMS Nymph, under the command of Captain Edward Pellew, off Start Point, Devon 18 June 1793 sold for GBP 30,240.00 (€ 36,060.13) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00.

Formidable, 98-guns, breaking the line, at the beginning of the Battle of the Saintes, 12th April 1782 in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 145,250.00 (€ 180,975.11).
