Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Fishermen in a small boat near the shore, perhaps at Calais, sailing boats in the background by François Louis Thomas Francia was sold in the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction at Christies in London in July 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,633.92) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by François Louis Thomas Francia - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Chasse-marée (fishing luggers) making sail, off Calais, which sold at auction in January 2003 for GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,811.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Fishermen in a small boat near the shore, perhaps at Calais, sailing boats in the background von François Louis Thomas Francia wurde im Juli 2007 in der Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.120,00 (€ 4.633,92) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von François Louis Thomas Francia mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Chasse-marée (fishing luggers) making sail, off Calais beobachtet, die im Januar 2003 für GBP 8.365,00 (€ 12.811,95) versteigert wurde.
