Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2016 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work H.M. frigate Phoenix, 36 guns, attacking the French frigate La Didon, 44 guns, 10 August 1805; and The capture of La Didon by H.M. frigate Phoenix by Francis Sartorius. It changed hands for a price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,644.03) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Sartorius achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Full Cry in April 2015 with an auction result of USD 81,250.00 (€ 72,791.61).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit H.M. frigate Phoenix, 36 guns, attacking the French frigate La Didon, 44 guns, 10 August 1805; and The capture of La Didon by H.M. frigate Phoenix von Francis Sartorius zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.644,03) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Sartorius erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Full Cry im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 81.250,00 (€ 72.791,61).
