Despite a disappointment, a good price for Gabriel Metsu
When the work A Woman Selling Game From A Stall by Gabriel Metsu was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,200,000.00 – 1,800,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,161,250.00 (€ 1,317,670.67). Despite this disappointing result, A Woman Selling Game From A Stall is the most expensive artwork by Gabriel Metsu that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Gabriel Metsu
Als die Arbeit A Woman Selling Game From A Stall von Gabriel Metsu im Juli 2009 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.200.000,00 – 1.800.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.161.250,00 (€ 1.317.670,67) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist A Woman Selling Game From A Stall das teuerste Kunstwerk von Gabriel Metsu, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
