Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Nelson arriving at St. John's Harbour, Antigua, 12 June 1805 in the pursuance of Villeneuve shewing the Victory and the Brig Curieux with dispatches for England by Louis Dodd was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,954.87). Admittedly, works by Louis Dodd 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 Charleston built frigate John Adams with the American fleet on the Guadeloupe station under Commodore Truxtun at Basseterre, St. Christoper's and Nevis, Leeward Islands, West Indies in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 9,987.50 (€ 16,026.25).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Nelson arriving at St. John's Harbour, Antigua, 12 June 1805 in the pursuance of Villeneuve shewing the Victory and the Brig Curieux with dispatches for England von Louis Dodd im Mai 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.762,50 (€ 2.954,87) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Louis Dodd auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Charleston built frigate John Adams with the American fleet on the Guadeloupe station under Commodore Truxtun at Basseterre, St. Christoper's and Nevis, Leeward Islands, West Indies im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.987,50 (€ 16.026,25).
