Auction result well in line with expectations
The work View of Broadstairs, Kent by Thomas Sewell Robins was sold in the British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations auction at Christies in London in June 2002. The price achieved of GBP 940.00 (€ 1,453.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit View of Broadstairs, Kent von Thomas Sewell Robins wurde im Juni 2002 in der Auktion British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 940,00 (€ 1.453,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. 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).
