Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October this year Bonhams in London held the auction The Marine Sale, which included the work The newly commissioned Newcastle barques Favourite and Majestic passing in the approaches to South Shields, with the ruins of Tynemouth Priory atop the cliff beyond by John Wilson Carmichael. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 35,840.00 (€ 41,154.28), 19% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by John Wilson Carmichael have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Opening Engagement At Trafalgar; H.M.S. 'Royal Sovereign' Raking The Stern Of The Spanish Flagship 'Santa Ana' in January 2018 with an auction result of GBP 237,000.00 (€ 270,601.06).
