Despite a disappointment, a good price for William Garthwaite
In November 2004 a collector was able to acquire the work A British Frigate Amidst Native Craft Off Corfu by William Garthwaite for GBP 5,975.00 (€ 8,595.01). This price was achieved in the auction MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES (PICTURES) at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, A British Frigate Amidst Native Craft Off Corfu is the most expensive artwork by William Garthwaite that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist A British Frigate Amidst Native Craft Off Corfu das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Garthwaite, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
