Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Half-Length, Wearing A Black Coat With Fur Collar, Holding A Letter; Portrait Of His Wife, Half-Length, Wearing A Black Dress And Cape With Gold Belt, Holding A Red And Gold Bead Rosary by Bartholomäus Bruyn the Elder was sold in the Old Masters Day Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2018. The price achieved of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 55,704.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bartholomäus Bruyn the Elder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Coronation Of The Virgin in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 626,500.00 (€ 806,513.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Half-Length, Wearing A Black Coat With Fur Collar, Holding A Letter; Portrait Of His Wife, Half-Length, Wearing A Black Dress And Cape With Gold Belt, Holding A Red And Gold Bead Rosary von Bartholomäus Bruyn the Elder wurde im Dezember 2018 in der Auktion Old Masters Day Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 55.704,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bartholomäus Bruyn the Elder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Coronation Of The Virgin im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 626.500,00 (€ 806.513,26).
