Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In October 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters, which included the work Portrait Of A Lady, Half-Length, Wearing A White Dress by Bartholomeus van der Helst. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,960.69). 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Oktober 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Half-Length, Wearing A White Dress von Bartholomeus van der Helst zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.960,69) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
