This artwork by Richard Henry Nibbs achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2007. In the Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) auction, the work A trading brig in the harbour by moonlight (illustrated); and Barges on the foreshore at dusk sold for GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,119.06) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00.
