Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In October 2005 Christies in London held the auction Trafalgar Bicentenary, which included the work HMS Victory breaking through the enemy line at Trafalgar, 21 October, 1805 by David Brackman. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,733.01).
