A top price for Elias van Nijmegen - as previously expected
In July 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master and British Drawings Including Property from the Descendants of Walter Brandt, which included the work Dido And Aeneas by Elias van Nijmegen. The price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,016.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Dido And Aeneas is the most expensive artwork by Elias van Nijmegen that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master and British Drawings Including Property from the Descendants of Walter Brandt durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dido And Aeneas von Elias van Nijmegen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.016,77) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Dido And Aeneas das teuerste Kunstwerk von Elias van Nijmegen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
