Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Sebastian Pether achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2005. In the British Pictures 1500-1850 auction, the work View of Mount Vesuvius Errupting, With Figures In The Foreground sold for GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,784.76) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Sebastian Pether; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Vesuvius erupting by moonlight sold at auction in July last year with the realized price of GBP 20,400.00 (€ 24,361.22).
