Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Works on Paper, which included the work The Pont Pelissier On The Road From Geneva To Chamonix, With Mont Blanc Beyond; Together With 'Travellers On The Descent Into Italy' by John 'Warwick' Smith. The price achieved of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,606.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John 'Warwick' Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work St. Cosimato And Remains Of The Claudian Aqueduct: Situated On The River Anio, 10 Miles Above Tivoli, In The Apennines; And Port Of Terracina, And Ruins Of Anticul Anxur, Situated On The Confines Of The Roman Territories, Entering The Kingdom Of Napl, which sold at auction in December 2007 for GBP 16,100.00 (€ 21,8

Für andere Arbeiten von John 'Warwick' Smith mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit St. Cosimato And Remains Of The Claudian Aqueduct: Situated On The River Anio, 10 Miles Above Tivoli, In The Apennines; And Port Of Terracina, And Ruins Of Anticul Anxur, Situated On The Confines Of The Roman Territories, Entering The Kingdom Of Napl beobachtet, die im Dezember 2007 für GBP 16.1
