Overview

RESULTS

The sale achieved a final total of £1,022,066. Seascape with Passing Storm by Willem van de Velde the Younger led the auction, selling for £33,750, over twice its pre-sale high estimate. Matching this result was a 17th-century German painting of an artist at work, which quadrupled its estimate.

AUCTION DETAILS

The annual autumn mid-season sale is an ideal entry point for new buyers, while offering a chance for more established buyers to expand their collections. The sale offers works from the major schools of Western European painting with estimates starting from £3,000.
