Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An English Frigate Amidst Much Activity In The Bay of Naples With Vesuvius Erupting Beyond by John Thomas Serres was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 62,400.00 (€ 92,665.95) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by John Thomas Serres have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in February 2005 the work Shipping off Lisbon, a seventy-four Third Rate passing two small craft as she heads out of the Tagus into a squall, with an anchored British frigate off her port beam and the Belém Tower receding astern was auctioned for GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,810.76).
