Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Bartholomeus van der Helst could be acquired at Sothebys in London in July 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Fine Line: Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries auction, the work Half-length portrait of a gentleman (Aelbert Cuyp?) changed hands for GBP 17,640.00 (€ 20,686.56) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bartholomeus van der Helst achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Sophia Coymans (1636-1714), three-quarter-length, holding a twig with an orange, before a landscape in July this year with an auction result of GBP 504,000.00 (€ 588,015.25).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Bartholomeus van der Helst konnte im Juli 2021 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Fine Line: Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries wechselte die Arbeit Half-length portrait of a gentleman (Aelbert Cuyp?) für GBP 17.640,00 (€ 20.686,56) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bartholomeus van der Helst erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Sophia Coymans (1636-1714), three-quarter-length, holding a twig with an orange, before a landscape im Juli diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 504.000,00 (€ 588.015,25).
