Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The engagement between H.M.S. Frolic and U.S.S. Wasp by John Bentham Dinsdale was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2005. Here, the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 3,120.00 (€ 2,350.46). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Bentham Dinsdale - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'The Osprey and Egyptienne, 23rd March 1904', which sold at auction in May 2020 for GBP 8,187.00 (€ 9,088.47).
