Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Three-Quarter-Length, In A Black Coat And Shirt With Lace Collar And Cuffs, Holding Gloves In His Left Hand, Leaning Against A Chair by Bartholomeus van der Helst was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 250,000.00 – 350,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 242,5 Other works by Bartholomeus van der Helst have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in July this year by the work Portrait of Sophia Coymans (1636-1714), three-quarter-length, holding a twig with an orange, before a landscape at GBP 504,000.00 (€ 588,015.25).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Three-Quarter-Length, In A Black Coat And Shirt With Lace Collar And Cuffs, Holding Gloves In His Left Hand, Leaning Against A Chair von Bartholomeus van der Helst im Dezember 2014 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 242.500,00 (€ 312.177,92) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Bartholomeus van der Helst wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Juli diesen Jahres die Arbeit Portrait of Sophia Coymans (1636-1714), three-quarter-length, holding a twig with an orange, before a landscape mit GBP 504.000,00 (€ 588.015,25).
