Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Masters Online, which included the work A Ship From The East India Company, Said To Be 'Castle Eden', 818 Tons, On Her First Voyage by Thomas Whitcombe. Here, the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 16,250.00 (€ 14,567.46). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Whitcombe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A view of St. Helier, Jersey, with Elizabeth Castle beyond in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 132,500.00 (€ 190,278.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Masters Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Ship From The East India Company, Said To Be 'Castle Eden', 818 Tons, On Her First Voyage von Thomas Whitcombe zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 16.250,00 (€ 14.567,46) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Whitcombe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A view of St. Helier, Jersey, with Elizabeth Castle beyond im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 132.500,00 (€ 190.278,72).
