Sold at the lower estimate price
In December 2010 Christies in London held the auction Old Master, 19th Century & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work A windmill in Cumberland with two figures resting in the foreground by François Louis Thomas Francia. The result of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,740.00) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Admittedly, works by François Louis Thomas Francia have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Dezember 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master, 19th Century & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit A windmill in Cumberland with two figures resting in the foreground von François Louis Thomas Francia zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.740,00) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von François Louis Thomas Francia auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Chasse-marée (fishing luggers) making sail, off Calais im Januar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.365,00 (€ 12.811,95).
