Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.

The work A capriccio of a Mediterranean harbour with elegant figures disembarking, shipping beyond by Lorenzo A. Castro was sold in the Old Master & British Pictures auction at Christies in London in October 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 6,821.31), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lorenzo A. Castro achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An English Fourth Rate arriving off Genoa, with another, larger English man-o'war already at anchor offshore in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 53,775.00 (€ 77,194.81).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit A capriccio of a Mediterranean harbour with elegant figures disembarking, shipping beyond von Lorenzo A. Castro wurde im Oktober 2007 in der Auktion Old Master & British Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 6.821,31) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 58%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lorenzo A. Castro erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An English Fourth Rate arriving off Genoa, with another, larger English man-o'war already at anchor offshore im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 53.775,00 (€ 77.194,81).
