Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.
The work British men-of-war off Spithead, Portsmouth; and British men-of-war off Yarmouth by Thomas Luny was sold in the Royal & Noble auction at Sothebys in London in January last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,710.00 (€ 12,837.29), 53% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Luny achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Battle Of Copenhagen, 2Nd April 1801 in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 108,100.00 (€ 130,083.88).

Die Arbeit British men-of-war off Spithead, Portsmouth; and British men-of-war off Yarmouth von Thomas Luny wurde im Januar letzten Jahres in der Auktion Royal & Noble bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 10.710,00 (€ 12.837,29) und damit 53% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Luny erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Battle Of Copenhagen, 2Nd April 1801 im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 108.100,00 (€ 130.083,88).
