Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2004 Christies in London held the auction MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES (PICTURES), which included the work Merchant Vessels Anchored Offshore In The Moonlight by William Daniel Penny. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 717.00 (€ 1,031.40), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Daniel Penny - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Steamer Salisbury Off The South Foreland, which sold at auction in November 2001 for GBP 1,997.50 (€ 3,178.65).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES (PICTURES) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Merchant Vessels Anchored Offshore In The Moonlight von William Daniel Penny zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 717,00 (€ 1.031,40) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von William Daniel Penny mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Steamer Salisbury Off The South Foreland beobachtet, die im November 2001 für GBP 1.997,50 (€ 3.178,65) versteigert wurde.
