A top price for Adriaen Isenbrant - as previously expected
In July 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work A Triptych: The Adoration Of The Magi by Adriaen Isenbrant. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 845,000.00 (€ 1,197,926.19) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Triptych: The Adoration Of The Magi is the most expensive artwork by Adriaen Isenbrant that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Triptych: The Adoration Of The Magi von Adriaen Isenbrant zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 845.000,00 (€ 1.197.926,19) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Triptych: The Adoration Of The Magi das teuerste Kunstwerk von Adriaen Isenbrant, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
