Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Thomas Sewell Robins could be acquired at Sothebys in London in January 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Of Royal and Noble Descent auction, the work A Merchant Brig Running Past Warships In An Anchorage changed hands for GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,141.78) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Sewell Robins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Studies of the cutter yacht Cygnet, one showing her beating Vision at the Southampton Regatta in 1848; the other with Cygnet winning the Queen's Cup at Cowes in 1849, a pair each 54 x 76.8cm (21 1/4 x 30 1/4in). (2) in October last year with an auction result of GBP 49,440.00 (€ 57,597.05).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Sewell Robins konnte im Januar 2018 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Of Royal and Noble Descent wechselte die Arbeit A Merchant Brig Running Past Warships In An Anchorage für GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.141,78) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Sewell Robins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Studies of the cutter yacht Cygnet, one showing her beating Vision at the Southampton Regatta in 1848; the other with Cygnet winning the Queen's Cup at Cowes in 1849, a pair each 54 x 76.8cm (21 1/4 x 30 1/4in). (2) im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 49.440,00 (€ 57.597,05).
