Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction The Marine Sale, which included the work A three-decked ship-of-the-line bearing away from Jamestown, St. Helena, with her escorting frigate firing a farewell salute by William John Huggins. The price achieved of GBP 3,825.00 (€ 4,399.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by William John Huggins have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Opium Ships At Lintin, China, 1824 in April 2011 with an auction result of GBP 37,250.00 (€ 41,949.92).
