This artwork by Francis Swaine achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2017. In the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art auction, the work An English two-decker, probably with the King aboard, making ready to depart from her offshore anchorage, and according a Dutch Admiralty yacht the usual salute as she passes sold for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 10,986.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Swaine - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An English Squadron In St Aubin'S Bay, Jersey, which sold at auction in December 2006 for GBP 28,800.00 (€ 42,742.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
