Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Claude Gellée achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2016. In the Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection auction, the work Recto: Panoramic Landscape In The Roman Campagna; Verso: Study Of A Tree sold for GBP 413,000.00 (€ 490,733.35) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 200,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Claude Gellée achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Mediterranean Port At Sunrise With The Embarkation Of Saint Paula For Jerusalem in December 2013 with an auction result of GBP 4,450,000.00 (€ 5,352,659.84).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Claude Gellée erzielte im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection wurde die Arbeit Recto: Panoramic Landscape In The Roman Campagna; Verso: Study Of A Tree für GBP 413.000,00 (€ 490.733,35) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 200.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Claude Gellée erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Mediterranean Port At Sunrise With The Embarkation Of Saint Paula For Jerusalem im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.450.000,00 (€ 5.352.659,84).
