Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Coolie Ship Rhone Reefed Down In Heavy Weather by Lai Fong of Calcutta was sold in the Maritime Pictures auction at Christies in London in May 2006. The price achieved of GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,627.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lai Fong of Calcutta - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Iron Wool Clipper Loch Tay At Sea, which sold at auction in November 2004 for GBP 5,736.00 (€ 8,251.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Für andere Arbeiten von Lai Fong of Calcutta mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Iron Wool Clipper Loch Tay At Sea beobachtet, die im November 2004 für GBP 5.736,00 (€ 8.251,21) versteigert wurde.
