29 1/8 x 38¼ in. (74 x 97.3 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Mediterranean harbour scene with a Spanish trading barge, figures on the beach and shipping beyond by Cornelis de Wael was sold in the Old Masters & British Paintings auction at Christies in London in May 2012. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,574.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cornelis de Wael - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Troops manoeuvring in an extensive landscape, which sold at auction in July 2004 for GBP 33,460.00 (€ 50,565.42).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A Mediterranean harbour scene with a Spanish trading barge, figures on the beach and shipping beyond von Cornelis de Wael wurde im Mai 2012 in der Auktion Old Masters & British Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.574,45) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Cornelis de Wael mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Troops manoeuvring in an extensive landscape beobachtet, die im Juli 2004 für GBP 33.460,00 (€ 50.565,42) versteigert wurde.
