A top price for John Stobart
In February 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Maritime including Scientific & Medical Instruments, which included the work The Charles W. Morgan in company with the bark Janet of New Bedford and other whaling ships north of the Bering Straits by John Stobart. The »bidding war« ended at USD 90,000.00 (€ 67,801.72), 50% above the upper estimate. This high result makes The Charles W. Morgan in company with the bark Janet of New Bedford and other whaling ships north of the Bering Straits the most expensive artwork by John Stobart that we have observed at auctions so far.
