In July 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings Sale, which included the work View On The Nile Near Cairo, Egypt by Thomas Seddon. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,250.00 (€ 14,329.48), 41% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Thomas Seddon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Arabs at Prayer in the Desert in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 65,725.00 (€ 95,956.43).
