Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
The work A hermit reading by a vaulted grotto by Balthasar Beschey was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in September 2003. It achieved a price of EUR 4,063.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63 %. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Balthasar Beschey achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A River Landscape With Wagons And Townsfolk On A Path And Boats; And An Extensive Landscape With A Windmill And Figures, A Canal Beyond in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 131,200.00 (€ 190,304.36).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit A hermit reading by a vaulted grotto von Balthasar Beschey kam im September 2003 bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von EUR 4.063,00 und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 63 %. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Balthasar Beschey erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A River Landscape With Wagons And Townsfolk On A Path And Boats; And An Extensive Landscape With A Windmill And Figures, A Canal Beyond im Juli 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 131.200,00 (€ 190.304,36).
