Derek George Montague Gardner, R.S.M.A. (Gerrards Cross 1914-2007)
A fierce engagement between H.M.S. Penguin and the French corvette Oiseau on 21 st August 1797
signed 'Derek G.M./GARDNER' (lower right)
oil on canvas
24 x 36 in. (61 x 91.5 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.

In June 2014 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work A Fierce Engagement Between H.M.S. Penguin And The French Corvette Oiseau On 21St August 1797 by Derek George Montague Gardner. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 23,750.00 (€ 29,674.49), 32% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Derek George Montague Gardner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The 'Glorious First of June', 1794, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 50,900.00 (€ 73,095.75).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 32 % übertroffen

Im Juni 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Fierce Engagement Between H.M.S. Penguin And The French Corvette Oiseau On 21St August 1797 von Derek George Montague Gardner zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 29.674,49) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Derek George Montague Gardner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The 'Glorious First of June', 1794 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für GBP 50.900,00 (€ 73.095,75) versteigert wurde.
