Auction result well in line with expectations
The work H.M.S. Cressy lying at anchor off Naples by Tommaso de Simone was sold in the Maritime Pictures auction at Christies in London in May 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,377.50 (€ 8,068.23) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tommaso de Simone - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work H.M.S. Exmouth signalling her arrival at Naples, which sold at auction in February 2004 for USD 28,680.00 (€ 23,052.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit H.M.S. Cressy lying at anchor off Naples von Tommaso de Simone wurde im Mai 2004 in der Auktion Maritime Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.377,50 (€ 8.068,23) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Tommaso de Simone mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit H.M.S. Exmouth signalling her arrival at Naples beobachtet, die im Februar 2004 für USD 28.680,00 (€ 23.052,81) versteigert wurde.
