Admittedly, works by Adolphus Knell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A fresh breeze in the Channel; and Evening after a squall off the Cornish coast in May 2001 with an auction result of GBP 5,287.50 (€ 8,864.61).

Die Arbeit The Flagship At Dusk von Adolphus Knell wurde im November 2005 in der Auktion MARITIME PICTURES bei Christies in London versteigert.
