Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.

In July 2002 Christies in London held the auction OLD MASTER PICTURES, which included the work A Rhenish river landscape with figures by a boat by Adriaen van Diest. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,700.00 (€ 7,496.68), 34% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adriaen van Diest - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Italianate rocky landscape with a drover and cattle before a stream, goats on a rocky outcrop beyond, which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 13,700.00 (€ 17,919.06).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen

Im Juli 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion OLD MASTER PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Rhenish river landscape with figures by a boat von Adriaen van Diest zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.700,00 (€ 7.496,68) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Adriaen van Diest mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An Italianate rocky landscape with a drover and cattle before a stream, goats on a rocky outcrop beyond beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für GBP 13.700,00 (€ 17.919,06) versteigert wurde.
