Anton Schranz (Ochsenhausen 1769-1839 Malta)
A British frigate entering Grand Harbour, Valetta, Malta
oil on canvas
14½ x 23 3/8 in. (36.9 x 59.3 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A British frigate entering Grand Harbour, Valetta, Malta by Anton Schranz was sold in the Maritime Art auction at Christies in London in November 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,266.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Anton Schranz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A British East Indiaman And Other Ships Entering Corfu Harbour, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 36,000.00 (€ 52,976.44).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A British frigate entering Grand Harbour, Valetta, Malta von Anton Schranz wurde im November 2011 in der Auktion Maritime Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 26.266,45) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Anton Schranz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A British East Indiaman And Other Ships Entering Corfu Harbour beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für GBP 36.000,00 (€ 52.976,44) versteigert wurde.
