Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Cornelis Biltius could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master Paintings Part II auction, the work A Trompe L'Oeil Of A Hanging Pheasant; And A Trompe L'Oeil Of A Hanging Black Grouse changed hands for USD 8,750.00 (€ 6,441.40) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cornelis Biltius achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Pair Of Trompe L'Œil Game Larder Still Lifes: With A Hare, Partridge, Snipe, Turkey, Pike, Eel And Fish, With A Parrot; And With Pigeons, A Hare, Calf'S Head, Asparagus, Lobster And Trout, With A Hawk And A Plover in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 70,912.98).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Cornelis Biltius konnte im Januar 2013 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master Paintings Part II wechselte die Arbeit A Trompe L'Oeil Of A Hanging Pheasant; And A Trompe L'Oeil Of A Hanging Black Grouse für USD 8.750,00 (€ 6.441,40) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cornelis Biltius erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Pair Of Trompe L'Œil Game Larder Still Lifes: With A Hare, Partridge, Snipe, Turkey, Pike, Eel And Fish, With A Parrot; And With Pigeons, A Hare, Calf'S Head, Asparagus, Lobster And Trout, With A Hawk And A Plover im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 70.912,98).
