William Henry Bishop (b.1942)
H.M.S. Torbay at the battle of Quiberon Bay, 20th November 1759
signed 'W.H. Bishop.' (lower right)
oil on canvas
11½ x 17½ in. (29.2 x 44.5 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work H.M.S. Torbay at the battle of Quiberon Bay, 20th November 1759 by William Henry Bishop was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 360.00 (€ 529.76). Admittedly, works by William Henry 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 'Warrior' Leaving Port in July 2019 with an auction result of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,195.87).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit H.M.S. Torbay at the battle of Quiberon Bay, 20th November 1759 von William Henry Bishop im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 360,00 (€ 529,76) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Henry Bishop auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The 'Warrior' Leaving Port im Juli 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.195,87).
