Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Continence of Scipio by Frans Francken II was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. The price achieved of USD 22,680.00 (€ 18,689.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frans Francken II achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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
Die Arbeit The Continence of Scipio von Frans Francken II kam im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 22.680,00 (€ 18.689,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frans Francken II erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Diana and her nymphs in a wooded landscape im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 395.250,00 (€ 467.139,24).
