Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work 'The Black Flag': An engagement between a pirate ship and a Royal Navy frigate (illustrated); and Bounding water: The clipper ship Timaru by John Bentham-Dinsdale was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,003.39). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by John Bentham-Dinsdale; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot H.M.S. Crescent, under the command of Captain James Saumarez, capturing the French frigate Réunion off Cherbourg, 20 October 1793 sold at auction in March 2017 with the realized price of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,521.70).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit 'The Black Flag': An engagement between a pirate ship and a Royal Navy frigate (illustrated); and Bounding water: The clipper ship Timaru von John Bentham-Dinsdale im Mai 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.003,39) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von John Bentham-Dinsdale; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen 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 dem Hammerpreis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.521,70).
