Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Study Of A Standing Girl, The Face Blank by Cornelis Bega was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 37,500.00 (€ 44,558.11). Admittedly, works by Cornelis Bega have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Jeune Femme Dans Un Intérieur Tenant Un Verrecornelis Pietersz. Bega ; Young Girl Having A Glass Of Wine In An Interior ; Trace Of Monogram Lower Left ; Oil On Canvas in June 2011 with an auction result of EUR 276,750.00.
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Study Of A Standing Girl, The Face Blank von Cornelis Bega im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 9.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 37.500,00 (€ 44.558,11) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Cornelis Bega auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Jeune Femme Dans Un Intérieur Tenant Un Verrecornelis Pietersz. Bega ; Young Girl Having A Glass Of Wine In An Interior ; Trace Of Monogram Lower Left ; Oil On Canvas im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 276.750,00.
