This artwork by John Thomas Serres achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2013. In the The Collection of Professor Sir Albert Richardson, P.R.A. auction, the work The blowing up of the Spanish Frigate Mercedes at the Battle of Cape Santa Maria, 1804 sold for GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,895.27) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Thomas Serres have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 88 % übertroffen
