Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
The work Shipping Fleet At Dusk by Adolphus Knell was sold in the British and Continental Pictures including Marine pictures auction at Sothebys in Olympia in November 2006. It achieved a price of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,316.65), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. 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).
