Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2003 Christies in London held the auction MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES, which included the work Merchantmen, sail and steam, lying in Cork harbour at sunset by George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson. The price achieved of GBP 7,050.00 (€ 10,120.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by 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 in May 2006 with an auction result of GBP 48,000.00 (€ 70,064.37).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Merchantmen, sail and steam, lying in Cork harbour at sunset von George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 7.050,00 (€ 10.120,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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 im Mai 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 48.000,00 (€ 70.064,37).
