This artwork by Robert Dighton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in December 2004. In the NAPOLEONICA FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR. & MRS. PHILIP CORSO auction, the work Napoleon in command of an artillery piece during the Italian Campaigns sold for USD 2,629.00 (€ 1,941.94) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Dighton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tally Ho!, which sold at auction in July 2013 for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,999.20).
