This artwork by Frank Watson Wood achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2008. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work H.M.S. Renown arriving at Plymouth Sound, 20th June, 1922 sold for GBP 875.00 (€ 1,099.22) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Watson Wood achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Surrender of the German Fleet, Scapa, Dec 1918 in May 2019 with an auction result of GBP 12,562.00 (€ 14,219.43).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Frank Watson Wood erzielte im März 2008 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit H.M.S. Renown arriving at Plymouth Sound, 20th June, 1922 für GBP 875,00 (€ 1.099,22) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Watson Wood erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Surrender of the German Fleet, Scapa, Dec 1918 im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.562,00 (€ 14.219,43).
