Auction result well in line with expectations
In February this year Christies in London held the auction An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House, which included the work Men-o'war anchored in the Hamoaze, Plymouth docks and coastline beyond by Francis Swaine. The price achieved of GBP 10,080.00 (€ 11,497.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House durch, in der auch die Arbeit Men-o'war anchored in the Hamoaze, Plymouth docks and coastline beyond von Francis Swaine zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.080,00 (€ 11.497,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis Swaine mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An English Squadron In St Aubin'S Bay, Jersey beobachtet, die im Dezember 2006 für GBP 28.800,00 (€ 42.742,81) versteigert wurde.
