Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Richard Paton could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2000 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Maritime and Naval Battles auction, the work The end of the action between H.M.S. Quebec and the French frigate Surveillante, 6th October 1779 changed hands for GBP 940.00 (€ 1,536.39) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Paton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An English privateer in action with two armed French galleys in the Mediterranean in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 17,037.50 (€ 27,006.53).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Richard Paton konnte im November 2000 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Maritime and Naval Battles wechselte die Arbeit The end of the action between H.M.S. Quebec and the French frigate Surveillante, 6th October 1779 für GBP 940,00 (€ 1.536,39) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Paton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An English privateer in action with two armed French galleys in the Mediterranean im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.037,50 (€ 27.006,53).
