John Lynn (Fl.1828-1838)
A Racing Cutter Of The Royal Yacht Squadron Beating To Windward Offshore
signed and dated 'J Lynn/1835' (lower left)
oil on canvas
9¾ x 12.5/8 in. (24.8 x 32 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.

In November 2013 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work A Racing Cutter Of The Royal Yacht Squadron Beating To Windward Offshore by John Lynn. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,857.99), 32% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Lynn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lord Belfast's yacht Emily off the Mediterranean coast with a xebec off her port bow in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 28,200.00 (€ 45,250.60).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 32 % übertroffen

Im November 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Racing Cutter Of The Royal Yacht Squadron Beating To Windward Offshore von John Lynn zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.857,99) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Lynn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lord Belfast's yacht Emily off the Mediterranean coast with a xebec off her port bow im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 28.200,00 (€ 45.250,60).
