Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work Portrait of a man, identified as Wijnand van Diest, half-length by Bartholomeus van der Helst. 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 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a man, identified as Wijnand van Diest, half-length von Bartholomeus van der Helst zur Versteigerung kam. 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 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).
