oil on canvas
38 by 43 cm.; 14 7/8 by 16 7/8 in.

Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters, which included the work A Ship Ablaze At Night In A Town Harbour by William Marlow. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,500.00 (€ 8,299.56) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Marlow achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A View From Richmond, Looking Towards Twickenham in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 384,000.00 (€ 295,430.07).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Ship Ablaze At Night In A Town Harbour von William Marlow zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 6.500,00 (€ 8.299,56) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Marlow erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A View From Richmond, Looking Towards Twickenham im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 384.000,00 (€ 295.430,07).
