Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction MARITIME PICTURES AND WATERCOLOURS, which included the work A Royal Naval Two-Decker Heeling In The Breeze by William Edward Atkins. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 240.00 (€ 355.70), 20% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by William Edward Atkins 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: The destruction of the French 74-gun Achille in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,304.59).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion MARITIME PICTURES AND WATERCOLOURS durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Royal Naval Two-Decker Heeling In The Breeze von William Edward Atkins zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 240,00 (€ 355,70) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Edward Atkins auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Battle of Trafalgar, 21st October 1805: The destruction of the French 74-gun Achille im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.304,59).
