A top price for Esaias van de Velde
When the work An Elegant Company In A Garden by Esaias van de Velde was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 900,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 2,953,000.00 (€ 1,896,839.67). This high result makes An Elegant Company In A Garden the most expensive artwork by Esaias van de Velde that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit An Elegant Company In A Garden von Esaias van de Velde im April 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 900.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 2.953.000,00 (€ 1.896.839,67) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht An Elegant Company In A Garden zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Esaias van de Velde, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
