Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work The American brig Argus engaging His Majesty's sloop Pelican in British waters, 14th August 1813 by Montague Dawson for USD 170,500.00 (€ 122,494.43). This price was achieved in the auction Maritime Art at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Montague Dawson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The action between H.M.S. Shannon and the U.S.S. Chesapeake,1st June 1813, which sold at auction in February 2006 for USD 486,400.00 (€ 407,882.60).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The American brig Argus engaging His Majesty's sloop Pelican in British waters, 14th August 1813 von Montague Dawson für USD 170.500,00 (€ 122.494,43) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Maritime Art bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Montague Dawson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The action between H.M.S. Shannon and the U.S.S. Chesapeake,1st June 1813 beobachtet, die im Februar 2006 für USD 486.400,00 (€ 407.882,60) versteigert wurde.
