Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A thistle with butterflies by Abraham Jansz. Begeyn was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2000. The price achieved of GBP 5,875.00 (€ 9,499.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abraham Jansz. Begeyn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nature morte aux chardons et aux papillons, which sold at auction in March 2015 for EUR 27,500.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A thistle with butterflies von Abraham Jansz. Begeyn kam im Juli 2000 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.875,00 (€ 9.499,80) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Abraham Jansz. Begeyn mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nature morte aux chardons et aux papillons beobachtet, die im März 2015 für EUR 27.500,00 versteigert wurde.
