Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Views In The South Seas: A View Of Huaheine; A View In Moorea; A View In Matavai Bay; And A View Of Owhyhee, By F. Jukes by John Cleveley the Younger was sold in the Topographical Pictures, including China Trade Paintings. ARCTIC · AMERICAS · AFRICA · ASIA · AUSTRALASIA · ANTARCTICA auction at Christies in London in November 2020. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,070.24). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Cleveley the Younger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Views In The South Seas (4) in September 2004 with an auction result of GBP 318,850.00 (€ 464,524.16).
