Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The fishing schooner Titania with the pilot boat Boston off Massachusetts by William Bishop was sold in the Maritime Art Including Fine Paintings, Nautical Antiques, Scrimshaw And Ship Models auction at Christies in New York in January 2008. Here, the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,189.88). Admittedly, works by William Bishop 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 Battle of Trafalgar, 21st October, 1805 - H.M.S. Victory's starboard side under fire from Rédoubtable in May 2004 with an auction result of GBP 11,950.00 (€ 17,929.40).
