William Mulready, R.A. (1786-1863)
Vessels in a squall off the coast
black chalk, on blue paper
12½ x 19¼ in. (31.7 x 48.9 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 37 %.

In May 2003 Christies in London held the auction The Irish Sale, which included the work Vessels in a squall off the coast by William Mulready. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,748.50 (€ 3,829.35), 37% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Mulready achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boys Fishing in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 38,619.95).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 37 % übertroffen

Im Mai 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Irish Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Vessels in a squall off the coast von William Mulready zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.748,50 (€ 3.829,35) und damit 37% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Mulready erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Boys Fishing im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 38.619,95).
