In September 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Indian, Himalayan & Southeast Asian Works of Art, which included the work View Of The Right Bank Of The River Ganges, Near Currah, December 1788 by William Daniell. The »bidding war« ended at USD 100,800.00 (€ 86,021.51), 26% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by William Daniell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Shivala Ghaut and Cheyt Singh's House near Benares in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 485,000.00 (€ 567,043.69).
