Estimate: 1.000 - 1.500 GBP
Price realised: 1.250 GBP
Dominic Serres, R.A. (Auch, Gascony 1722-1793 London)
A Royal Navy frigate and cutters drifting in a calm
pen and grey ink and watercolour, on paper
11 ½ x 18 ¼ in. (29.2 x 46.4 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2014 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work A Royal Navy Frigate And Cutters Drifting In A Calm by Dominic Serres. The price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,561.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dominic Serres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Capture Of Havana, Cuba: The Taking Of The Town By British Forces Under The Command Of The Earl Of Albemarle, 14 August 1762 in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 581,000.00 (€ 690,353.69).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juni 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Royal Navy Frigate And Cutters Drifting In A Calm von Dominic Serres zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.561,82) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dominic Serres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Capture Of Havana, Cuba: The Taking Of The Town By British Forces Under The Command Of The Earl Of Albemarle, 14 August 1762 im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 581.000,00 (€ 690.353,69).
