Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2011 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Study of the Gladiator, the flagship in Portsmouth harbour; Study of an old hulk living out her days on a permanent mooring (recto) and study of a frigate (verso); A stately '64', off the smalls in the Scilly Isles (illustrated); and Two studies of f by John Durrant. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 400.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 437.50 (€ 500.28). Admittedly, works by John Durrant have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Two studies of Dover boats; A hovelling boat, Dover, used for piloting and mackerel fishing; View from South Shields, the banks of the Tyne at low water and people gathering coals (illustrated); A Ride [sic. packet sailing from Portsmouth to Ride s in November 2010 with an auction result of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,182.49)
