Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.
The work Frigate off Sugar Loaf Point, St Helena by John Thomas Serres was auctioned at Bonhams in April this year. It achieved a price of GBP 1,912.50 (€ 2,179.63), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 59%. 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 um 59 % übertroffen
