Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Bartholomeus van der Helst could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in January 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Otto Naumann Sale auction, the work Portrait Of A Lady, Probably Hester Du Pire, Seated Before A Balustrade, Holding A Fan, With A View Out To The Sea Beyond changed hands for USD 175,000.00 (€ 140,811.07) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Admittedly, works by Bartholomeus van der Helst have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 Januar 2018 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Otto Naumann Sale wechselte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Probably Hester Du Pire, Seated Before A Balustrade, Holding A Fan, With A View Out To The Sea Beyond für USD 175.000,00 (€ 140.811,07) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bartholomeus van der Helst auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
