Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work The arrival of the Sultan; and Study of an armed ambush on camelback by Thomas Seddon was sold in the Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2016. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,922.91), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Seddon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Arabs at Prayer in the Desert in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 65,725.00 (€ 95,956.43).

Die Arbeit The arrival of the Sultan; and Study of an armed ambush on camelback von Thomas Seddon wurde im Dezember 2016 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.922,91) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Seddon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Arabs at Prayer in the Desert im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 65.725,00 (€ 95.956,43).
