Maitland under a burning sky
signed 'James Brereton' (lower right)
oil on canvas
24 x 36 in. (61 x 91.4 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In November 2011 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work Maitland under a burning sky by James Brereton. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,313.32). Admittedly, works by James Brereton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Cornish breakers in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,344.67).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im November 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Maitland under a burning sky von James Brereton zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.313,32) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von James Brereton auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Cornish breakers im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.344,67).
