Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Barges running out of the Scheldt on a blustery day by Walter William May was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,188.84) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Walter William May have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in September 2004 the work Perilous Situation of H.M.S.V. Intrepid In Baffins Bay - August 2. 1851.; And H.M.S.V. Intrepid Marooned On An Iceberg was auctioned for GBP 2,868.00 (€ 4,178.31).
