Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work A Winter Scene With Figures Skating On A Frozen River by Anthonie Verstraelen was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 40,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 212,500.00 (€ 248,446.98). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Anthonie Verstraelen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Winter Landscape With Figures Skating On A Frozen River Beside A Village, which sold at auction in July 2011 for GBP 481,250.00 (€ 552,306.37).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A Winter Scene With Figures Skating On A Frozen River von Anthonie Verstraelen im Dezember 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 40.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 212.500,00 (€ 248.446,98) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Anthonie Verstraelen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Winter Landscape With Figures Skating On A Frozen River Beside A Village beobachtet, die im Juli 2011 für GBP 481.250,00 (€ 552.306,37) versteigert wurde.
