Auction result well in line with expectations

In January 2024 Christies in New York held the auction Old Masters, which included the work The Adoration of the Shepherds by Frans Francken II. The price achieved of USD 88,200.00 (€ 77,084.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. Admittedly, works by Frans Francken II have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Diana and her nymphs in a wooded landscape in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 395,250.00 (€ 467,139.24).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Januar 2024 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Masters durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Adoration of the Shepherds von Frans Francken II zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 88.200,00 (€ 77.084,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Frans Francken II auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Diana and her nymphs in a wooded landscape im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 395.250,00 (€ 467.139,24).
