Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2010 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work A crowded cutter and other shipping off a rocky headland by Samuel Atkins. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,195.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Atkins - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Honourable East India Company's ships Devonshire, Woodford and Lord Duncan lying on the Thames off Blackwall (illustrated) ; View of Battersea; and View of Penny's Dockyard at Blackwall (illustrated), which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,779.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A crowded cutter and other shipping off a rocky headland von Samuel Atkins zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.195,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Samuel Atkins mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Honourable East India Company's ships Devonshire, Woodford and Lord Duncan lying on the Thames off Blackwall (illustrated) ; View of Battersea; and View of Penny's Dockyard at Blackwall (illustrated) beobachtet, die im November 2010 für GBP 4.000,00 (€ 4.779,99) versteigert wurde.
