Samuel Owen (1769-1857)
Admiralty cutters beating inshore with a frigate running out of harbour
signed 'Owen' (lower left)
pen and grey ink and watercolour
4 3/8 x 6 3/8in. (11 x 16.3cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Admiralty cutters beating inshore with a frigate running out of harbour by Samuel Owen was sold in the Maritime auction at Christies in London in May 2001. It changed hands for a price of GBP 493.50 (€ 827.36) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Owen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A frigate, an excursion steamer and barges on the Thames before Greenwich Hospital in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 10,770.49).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Admiralty cutters beating inshore with a frigate running out of harbour von Samuel Owen wurde im Mai 2001 in der Auktion Maritime bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 493,50 (€ 827,36) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Owen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A frigate, an excursion steamer and barges on the Thames before Greenwich Hospital im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 10.770,49).
