The work Warships in a calm by Samuel Owen was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 3,231.15), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Owen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A frigate, an excursion steamer and barges on the Thames before Greenwich Hospital, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 10,770.49).
