This artwork by Vasily Vereshchagin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in November 2012. In the Important Russian Art auction, the work The Adjutant sold for GBP 690,850.00 (€ 851,057.11) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vasily Vereshchagin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Taj Mahal, Evening, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 2,281,250.00 (€ 2,523,779.09).
