Sold at the lower estimate price
In November 2007 Christies in London held the auction Maritime, which included the work Fishing boats and other shipping in coastal waters below a fortified promontory (illustrated); and Shipping in a squall in the Channel by Frederick Calvert. The result of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,900.91) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,500.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Frederick Calvert have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ports of the English Channel comprising Folkestone, Ramsgate, Cowes and Dover in October 2008 with an auction result of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 20,712.92).
