The work Two smalschips and other shipping off a sandbank in a calm by Jan van de Cappelle was sold in the Old Master Pictures auction at Christies in London in December 2003. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 475,650.00 (€ 673,695.90), 59% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Jan van de Cappelle have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A kaag and a smak in a calm, with fishermen pulling in their catch from a rowing-boat in the foreground, a Dutch frigate and other boats beyond in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 3,592,000.00 (€ 5,210,162.09).
