James Burrell (fl.1863-1868)
A heavy swell off Boulogne
oil on canvas
30 x 50 in. (76.2 x 127 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work A heavy swell off Boulogne by James Burrell Smith was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in November 2008. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,627.23), 20% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by James Burrell Smith have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Anglers by a rapid; and A waterfall in a mountainous landscape in May 2005 with an auction result of GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,715.77).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit A heavy swell off Boulogne von James Burrell Smith wurde im November 2008 in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.627,23) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von James Burrell Smith auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Anglers by a rapid; and A waterfall in a mountainous landscape im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.000,00 (€ 17.715,77).
