Upper estimate price exceeded by 52 %.
The work English fishing smacks at sea in a gale by Willem van de Velde II was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,543.06), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 52%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem van de Velde II achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dutch men-o'-war and other shipping in a calm in December 2011 with an auction result of GBP 5,921,250.00 (€ 7,091,533.28).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 52 % übertroffen
