Upper estimate price exceeded by 80 %.
This artwork by George Chinnery achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2021. In the Town & Country: A Private Collection auction, the work Boat and people near a fort in Canton sold for GBP 6,300.00 (€ 7,514.58) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Chinnery achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Reeves Macao Album, 1836-1837 in July 2006 with an auction result of GBP 332,800.00 (€ 487,180.19).

Dieses Kunstwerk von George Chinnery erzielte im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Town & Country: A Private Collection wurde die Arbeit Boat and people near a fort in Canton für GBP 6.300,00 (€ 7.514,58) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Chinnery erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Reeves Macao Album, 1836-1837 im Juli 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 332.800,00 (€ 487.180,19).
