Sold at the lower estimate price
In May 2012 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work Queen Victoria's and Prince Albert's visit to Rothesay on 17th August 1847 on board the R.Y. Fairy by Charles Pettitt. The result of GBP 400.00 (€ 498.38) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Admittedly, works by Charles Pettitt have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The river ferry in March 2011 with an auction result of GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,525.98).

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Pettitt auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The river ferry im März 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.000,00 (€ 4.525,98).
