The journey home
signed 'T Smythe' (lower left)
oil on canvas
20 1/8 x 30 in. (51.1 x 76.2 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.

The work The journey home by Thomas Smythe was sold in the Victorian and British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in June 2010. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,584.20), 42% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Thomas Smythe have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The dining chair sledge in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 10,994.00 (€ 16,362.37).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 42 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit The journey home von Thomas Smythe wurde im Juni 2010 in der Auktion Victorian and British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.584,20) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Smythe auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The dining chair sledge im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.994,00 (€ 16.362,37).
