Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2012 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work A Royal Navy frigate engaging and chasing a pirate lugger under the cover of darkness by Thomas Buttersworth, Sen.. The price achieved of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,159.49) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00.
