Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Anchored In Calm Waters Off The Coast by Adolphus Knell was sold in the MARITIME PICTURES auction at Christies in London in November 2005. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,291.84). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adolphus Knell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A fresh breeze in the Channel; and Evening after a squall off the Cornish coast, which sold at auction in May 2001 for GBP 5,287.50 (€ 8,864.61).
