Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Dutch shipping offshore in a heavy swell, the merchantman flying her identification number 43 by Martinus Schouman was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,350.00 (€ 3,274.14). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Martinus Schouman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The English flagship Venerable engaging the Dutch flagship Vrijheid at the Battle of Camperdown, 11th October 1797; the Dutch ships Staten-Generaal and Admiral de Vries to the left and right respectively in February 2004 with an auction result of USD 45,410.00 (€ 36,500.28).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Dutch shipping offshore in a heavy swell, the merchantman flying her identification number 43 von Martinus Schouman im Mai 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.350,00 (€ 3.274,14) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Martinus Schouman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The English flagship Venerable engaging the Dutch flagship Vrijheid at the Battle of Camperdown, 11th October 1797; the Dutch ships Staten-Generaal and Admiral de Vries to the left and right respectively im Februar 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 45.410,00 (€ 36.500,28).
