This artwork by Alexander Cozens achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2010. In the Old Master, 19th Century & British Drawings & Watercolours auction, the work A mountain peak in a rocky landscape sold for GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,639.99) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexander Cozens achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Bay At Dusk in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 108,000.00 (€ 160,062.82).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Cozens erzielte im Dezember 2010 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master, 19th Century & British Drawings & Watercolours wurde die Arbeit A mountain peak in a rocky landscape für GBP 4.000,00 (€ 4.639,99) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexander Cozens erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Bay At Dusk im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 108.000,00 (€ 160.062,82).
