William E.D. Stuart (fl.1848-1867)
H.M.S. Victory engaging the Spanish vice-admirals's flagship at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, 14th February 1797
signed 'W. Stuart' (lower right)
oil on canvas
38½ x 62½in. (97.8 x 158.7cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by William Stuart achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2000. In the Maritime and Naval Battles auction, the work H.M.S. Victory engaging the Spanish vice-admirals's flagship at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, 14th February 1797 sold for GBP 12,925.00 (€ 21,125.40) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Stuart have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Trafalgar: The heat of the action in November 2010 with an auction result of GBP 145,250.00 (€ 173,573.53).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Stuart erzielte im November 2000 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Maritime and Naval Battles wurde die Arbeit H.M.S. Victory engaging the Spanish vice-admirals's flagship at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, 14th February 1797 für GBP 12.925,00 (€ 21.125,40) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Stuart auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Trafalgar: The heat of the action im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 145.250,00 (€ 173.573,53).
