Sold at the upper estimate price

In April 2007 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work Alexander and Diogenes by Cornelis de Vos. The auction ended at the price of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 87,847.73), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cornelis de Vos - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of a lady, half-length, in a black dress with gold embroidery and a ruff, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 170,500.00 (€ 215,054.11).

Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis

Im April 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Alexander and Diogenes von Cornelis de Vos zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 87.847,73) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Cornelis de Vos mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, half-length, in a black dress with gold embroidery and a ruff beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 170.500,00 (€ 215.054,11) versteigert wurde.
