Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The fishing fleet off the harbour mouth by George Knight was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2004. The price achieved of GBP 776.75 (€ 1,165.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 900.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Knight - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Heading Out To The Fishing Grounds (Illustrated); And Returning With The Day'S Catch, which sold at auction in November 2004 for GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,781.80).
