Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The battle of the Saintes, 12 April 1782 by Thomas Whitcombe was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art auction at Christies in London in July 2016. It achieved a price of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,129.30), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Whitcombe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A view of St. Helier, Jersey, with Elizabeth Castle beyond in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 132,500.00 (€ 190,278.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The battle of the Saintes, 12 April 1782 von Thomas Whitcombe wurde im Juli 2016 in der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 7.129,30) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Whitcombe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A view of St. Helier, Jersey, with Elizabeth Castle beyond im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 132.500,00 (€ 190.278,72).
