Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Cornelis Visscher achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2002. In the Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints auction, the work The Large Cat (Holl. 42) sold for GBP 3,824.00 (€ 6,099.43) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cornelis Visscher achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Bohémienne in March 2016 with an auction result of EUR 205,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Cornelis Visscher erzielte im Juli 2002 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints wurde die Arbeit The Large Cat (Holl. 42) für GBP 3.824,00 (€ 6.099,43) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cornelis Visscher erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Bohémienne im März 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 205.500,00.
