Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Capture Of Havana, Cuba, August 1762: The English Battery Before The Morro Castle by Dominic Serres was sold in the Old Masters Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in July 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 221,000.00 (€ 262,595.81) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dominic Serres - we have observed the highest auction result to date for 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, which sold at auction in July 2016 for GBP 581,000.00 (€ 690,353.69).
