Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2004 Christies in New York held the auction Maritime, which included the work An armed British brig becalmed in the approaches to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson. It changed hands for a price of USD 28,680.00 (€ 23,052.81) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View of Passage West On The River Lee, Co. Cork With Monkstown Castle In The Distance, A Mail Boat Arriving In The Foreground, which sold at auction in May 2006 for GBP 48,000.00 (€ 70,064.37).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2004 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Maritime durch, in der auch die Arbeit An armed British brig becalmed in the approaches to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil von George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 28.680,00 (€ 23.052,81) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View of Passage West On The River Lee, Co. Cork With Monkstown Castle In The Distance, A Mail Boat Arriving In The Foreground beobachtet, die im Mai 2006 für GBP 48.000,00 (€ 70.064,37) versteigert wurde.
