Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work An Italianate landscape with figures on a track by a river and fishermen drawing in a net by Bernard Lens III was auctioned at Bonhams in London in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 5,737.50 (€ 6,599.79). Admittedly, works by Bernard Lens III have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Self-Portrait Aged 27 in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 59,094.15).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit An Italianate landscape with figures on a track by a river and fishermen drawing in a net von Bernard Lens III im April 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.737,50 (€ 6.599,79) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bernard Lens III auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Self-Portrait Aged 27 im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 59.094,15).
