Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures), Lot 462
16. May - 16. May 2007
Estimate: 1.500 - 2.500 GBP
Price realised: 4.200 GBP
Marie-Edouard Adam of Le Havre (French, 1847-1929)
The full-rigger Austriana reducing sail and calling for a pilot
signed, further signed with device, inscribed and dated 'Ed Adam 1881/Havre' (lower right)
oil on canvas
24½ x 36 in. (62.2 x 91.4 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.

The work The full-rigger Austriana reducing sail and calling for a pilot by Edouard Adam was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 4,200.00 (€ 6,180.58), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Edouard Adam; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Charles M. Watts at sea sold at auction in January 2008 with the realized price of USD 10,000.00 (€ 6,738.09).
