Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Luigi Galea achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2010. In the Travel, Science and Natural History auction, the work A panoramic view of Grand Harbour, Valletta sold for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,911.78) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Luigi Galea; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Mediterranean fishing craft off the Maltese coast sold at auction in May 2000 with the realized price of GBP 7,285.00 (€ 11,689.74).
