Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2000 Christies in London held the auction Maritime, which included the work The Departure of the fishing fleet; and The returning fishing fleet by William Adolphus Knell. The price achieved of GBP 2,350.00 (€ 3,770.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Adolphus Knell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The East Indiaman Exeter making for the Ladrone Islands, China, 1805, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 11,250.00 (€ 14,017.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Departure of the fishing fleet; and The returning fishing fleet von William Adolphus Knell zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.350,00 (€ 3.770,88) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William Adolphus Knell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The East Indiaman Exeter making for the Ladrone Islands, China, 1805 beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 11.250,00 (€ 14.017,01) versteigert wurde.
