Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Notary Sharpening His Pen, In An Interior by Gabriel Metsu was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 52,624.46) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gabriel Metsu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Woman Selling Game From A Stall in July 2009 with an auction result of GBP 1,161,250.00 (€ 1,317,670.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Notary Sharpening His Pen, In An Interior von Gabriel Metsu kam im Dezember 2013 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 52.624,46) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gabriel Metsu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Woman Selling Game From A Stall im Juli 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.161.250,00 (€ 1.317.670,67).
