Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A beached vessel at low tide by François Louis Thomas Francia was sold in the Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2012. The result of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,233.28) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by François Louis Thomas Francia achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chasse-marée (fishing luggers) making sail, off Calais in January 2003 with an auction result of GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,811.95).

Die Arbeit A beached vessel at low tide von François Louis Thomas Francia wurde im Dezember 2012 in der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.233,28) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von François Louis Thomas Francia erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chasse-marée (fishing luggers) making sail, off Calais im Januar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.365,00 (€ 12.811,95).
