Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Trompe L’Œil With A Brace Of English Partridge Hanging Before A Wall by Cornelis Biltius was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 50,000.00 (€ 56,060.99). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Cornelis Biltius; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 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 sold at auction in December 2019 with the realized price of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 70,912.98).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Trompe L’Œil With A Brace Of English Partridge Hanging Before A Wall von Cornelis Biltius im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 50.000,00 (€ 56.060,99) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Cornelis Biltius; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen 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 dem Hammerpreis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 70.912,98).
