Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September last year Bonhams in London held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work Fisherman seated on the shore, Vesuvius beyond unframed by John Thomas Serres. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 6,120.00 (€ 6,965.15), 22% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Thomas Serres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by 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 in February 2005 with an auction result of GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,810.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fisherman seated on the shore, Vesuvius beyond unframed von John Thomas Serres zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 6.120,00 (€ 6.965,15) und damit 22% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Thomas Serres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 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 im Februar 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 84.000,00 (€ 121.810,76).
