Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Bristol Ferry by John Sell Cotman was sold in the Old Master and British Works on Paper, including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection auction at Sothebys in London in December 2020. It changed hands for a price of GBP 8,820.00 (€ 9,852.73) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Sell Cotman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work In the Grampians, a drover with his dog and cattle beyond in July 2017 with an auction result of GBP 118,750.00 (€ 132,506.76).
