The work The New York Yacht Club's steam yacht Varuna in an offshore swell by Antonio de Simone was sold in the Maritime Art auction at Christies in London in May 2012. It achieved a price of GBP 1,625.00 (€ 2,024.68), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antonio de Simone - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Royal Thames Yacht Club schooner Marchesa: In Neapolitan waters (illustrated); and In heavy weather, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 4,780.00 (€ 7,171.76).
