The sale\u2019s top lot was <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Beach at Wieck near Greifswald<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, an ink drawing by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich, who appropriately is getting a major exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art starting this upcoming Saturday. The drawing shows an overturned rowboat on a beach while large sailing ships cross the water in the background. Sotheby\u2019s specialists note that Friedrich\u2019s landscapes often contained great amounts of allegory and symbolism. In the present case, boats on the water or <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">on<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the beach usually represent the transience of life. Sotheby\u2019s <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">definitely<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> predicted the drawing to become one of the sale\u2019s stars with an estimate of $250K and $350K, one of three lots to receive this estimate. Bidding, however, continued well past the high estimate mark, with the drawing hammering at $600K (or $720K w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_55994\" style=\"width: 203px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysTurnerLeHavre-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55994\" class=\"wp-image-55994\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysTurnerLeHavre-231x300.jpg\" alt=\"A watercolor of the seaside in France\" width=\"193\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysTurnerLeHavre-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysTurnerLeHavre-788x1024.jpg 788w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysTurnerLeHavre-768x999.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysTurnerLeHavre-1181x1536.jpg 1181w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysTurnerLeHavre-1575x2048.jpg 1575w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysTurnerLeHavre-scaled.jpg 1969w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-55994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Light-towers of Le Havre, France<\/em> by J.M.W. Turner<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Similar to the Christie\u2019s sale the day before, J.M.W. Turner was one of the most popular artists in New York for Classic Week. Sotheby\u2019s expected the watercolor<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Light-towers of Le Havre, France<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to do <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">rather well, even if<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> if they did not peg it as one of the top works. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The combination of bold colors with the airy, almost ethereal nature of <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">not only<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the sky and the water <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">but also<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the way the scene sort of just fades away like a dream likely made the work very attractive to buyers.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> It surpassed its $150K high estimate by 2.3 times, hammering at $350K (or $420K w\/p). Finally, rounding everything out was a pair of lots that achieved the same hammer price, one selling within estimate and the other vastly exceeding it. The first was another Turner watercolor, <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Falls of Schaffhausen<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, one of ten paintings of the subject created during a trip through Switzerland in the early 1840s. The work may seem dull, filled with lots of brown and gray. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> seems especially so when compared to the Le Havre watercolor. However, it was another one of the three $250K to $350K lots in the sale, selling with an estimate <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">at<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> $280K (or $336K w\/p). However, the lot immediately preceding it caused quite a stir, as it made the same hammer price yet was predicted to sell for no more than $20K. The painting of <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Vesuvius, Italy<\/span><\/em> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">by<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the British watercolorist Samuel Palmer is a <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">very<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> small work, measuring barely 5 by 7 inches. It shows the famous Italian volcano amid an eruption, which the artist writes <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">as having taken<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> place in August 1838. It has been in the same private collection for over a century, having received it from the artist\u2019s son. It is <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">by far<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> one of the biggest auction surprises of the year, having achieved a hammer price 14 times its high estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_55995\" style=\"width: 233px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SothebysTurnerSwitzerland-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55995\" class=\"wp-image-55995 \" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SothebysTurnerSwitzerland-300x237.jpg\" alt=\"A watercolor of a cliffside town in Switzerland beside a waterfall\" width=\"223\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SothebysTurnerSwitzerland-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SothebysTurnerSwitzerland-1024x808.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SothebysTurnerSwitzerland-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SothebysTurnerSwitzerland-1536x1212.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SothebysTurnerSwitzerland-2048x1616.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-55995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The Falls of Schaffhausen, Switzerland<\/em> by J.M.W.

It shows a group of men seated at a table with incredibly tall drinking glasses, said by Sotheby\u2019s specialists to be typical of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Lorraine, where the artist was from. The subject is very jovial, seemingly taken out of a Verdi opera, making it unsurprising that it sold for as much as it did. Predicted to sell for no more than $20K, the chalk drawing eventually sold for 3.25 times its high estimate at $65K (or $78K w\/p).
