Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol (1580-1653), bust-length, in a silver doublet and lace collar by Cornelis Jonson van Ceulen was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,738.14) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Cornelis Jonson van Ceulen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As Lady Corbett, Half-Length, In A Black Dress Adorned With Pink Rosettes And A Reticella Lace Collar, Cartwheel Ruff And Headdress, In A Feigned Oval in April 2016 with an auction result of GBP 158,500.00 (€ 202,610.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol (1580-1653), bust-length, in a silver doublet and lace collar von Cornelis Jonson van Ceulen kam im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 23.738,14) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Cornelis Jonson van Ceulen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As Lady Corbett, Half-Length, In A Black Dress Adorned With Pink Rosettes And A Reticella Lace Collar, Cartwheel Ruff And Headdress, In A Feigned Oval im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 158.500,00 (€ 202.610,13).
