Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Saint John The Baptist Preaching In A Rocky Landscape by Claude Gellée was sold in the Old Master and British Drawings auction at Christies in New York in January 2016. The result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 46,159.53) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Saint John The Baptist Preaching In A Rocky Landscape von Claude Gellée wurde im Januar 2016 in der Auktion Old Master and British Drawings bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 46.159,53) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. 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).
