Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings, which included the work "Grace Before Dinner," An Old Couple Seated At A Table by Abraham van Dyck. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 35,000.00 (€ 30,672.16) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abraham van Dyck - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Piping Boy: portrait of a youth, half-length seated, playing a pipe, in a slashed doublet and a red hat, which sold at auction in July 2000 for GBP 75,250.00 (€ 121,678.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit "Grace Before Dinner," An Old Couple Seated At A Table von Abraham van Dyck zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 30.672,16) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Abraham van Dyck mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Piping Boy: portrait of a youth, half-length seated, playing a pipe, in a slashed doublet and a red hat beobachtet, die im Juli 2000 für GBP 75.250,00 (€ 121.678,26) versteigert wurde.
