Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Ark Royal flying the Royal Standard in the Channel by John Bentham-Dinsdale was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 937.50 (€ 1,154.90). Admittedly, works by John Bentham-Dinsdale have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work H.M.S. Crescent, under the command of Captain James Saumarez, capturing the French frigate Réunion off Cherbourg, 20 October 1793 in March 2017 with an auction result of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,521.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Ark Royal flying the Royal Standard in the Channel von John Bentham-Dinsdale im November 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 937,50 (€ 1.154,90) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Bentham-Dinsdale auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit H.M.S. Crescent, under the command of Captain James Saumarez, capturing the French frigate Réunion off Cherbourg, 20 October 1793 im März 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.521,70).
