Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,125.00 (€ 4,375.81). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Prout - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Arch of St Mark'S, Venice, With Figures In Oriental Costume In The Foreground; And The Arch of Constantine, Rome, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 7,200.00 (€ 10,684.44).
