Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A British Man-Of-War Being Towed Into Portsmouth Harbour By A Steam Tug by Thomas Buttersworth was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 61,250.00 (€ 68,978.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Buttersworth - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Captain Lord Cochrane'S Frigate Pallas Leaving The Tagus Under Full Sail, The City of Lisbon Beyond And The Belem Tower Receding Astern, which sold at auction in June 2006 for GBP 102,000.00 (€ 147,592.30).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A British Man-Of-War Being Towed Into Portsmouth Harbour By A Steam Tug von Thomas Buttersworth im April 2011 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 61.250,00 (€ 68.978,05) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Buttersworth mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Captain Lord Cochrane'S Frigate Pallas Leaving The Tagus Under Full Sail, The City of Lisbon Beyond And The Belem Tower Receding Astern beobachtet, die im Juni 2006 für GBP 102.000,00 (€ 147.592,30) versteigert wurde.
