The work A Crowded "74" Under Reduced Sail Running Past Gibraltar by George Webster was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2005. It achieved a price of GBP 10,560.00 (€ 15,513.97), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 32%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Webster - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A thirty gun frigate of the blue squadron off Dover castle in choppy seas, which sold at auction in July 2006 for USD 45,600.00 (€ 35,725.48).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 32 % übertroffen
