Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures), which included the work The Burning of The Russian 74-Gun Sewolod After She Had Been Engaged And Silenced By H.M.S. Implacable, Captain T. Byam Martin, In The Baltic, 26Th August 1808 by Nicholas Pocock. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,400.00 (€ 12,474.26) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicholas Pocock achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Admiral Rodney's flagship H.M.S. Formidable, 98-guns, breaking the line, at the beginning of the Battle of the Saintes, 12th April 1782 in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 145,250.00 (€ 180,975.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Burning of The Russian 74-Gun Sewolod After She Had Been Engaged And Silenced By H.M.S. Implacable, Captain T. Byam Martin, In The Baltic, 26Th August 1808 von Nicholas Pocock zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.400,00 (€ 12.474,26) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicholas Pocock erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Admiral Rodney's flagship H.M.S. Formidable, 98-guns, breaking the line, at the beginning of the Battle of the Saintes, 12th April 1782 im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 145.250,00 (€ 180.975,11).
