This artwork by Arthur Wellington Fowles achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2006. In the Maritime Pictures auction, the work The Flotilla of Royal Yachts Lying In Osborne Bay Prior To Queen Victoria'S Departure For France In August, 1855 sold for GBP 9,000.00 (€ 13,137.07) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Wellington Fowles - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Indian troopship Serapis arriving at Portsmouth, 11 May 1876, with H.R.H. The Prince of Wales aboard her on his return from India, and the Royal yacht Osborne following her in, which sold at auction in November 2000 for GBP 22,325.00 (€ 36,489.33).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 80 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Arthur Wellington Fowles erzielte im Mai 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Maritime Pictures wurde die Arbeit The Flotilla of Royal Yachts Lying In Osborne Bay Prior To Queen Victoria'S Departure For France In August, 1855 für GBP 9.000,00 (€ 13.137,07) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Wellington Fowles mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Indian troopship Serapis arriving at Portsmouth, 11 May 1876, with H.R.H. The Prince of Wales aboard her on his return from India, and the Royal yacht Osborne following her in beobachtet, die im November 2000 für GBP 22.325,00 (€ 36.489,33) versteigert wurde.
