Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An elegant lady writing at her desk, with a dog beside her by Gabriel Metsu was sold in the Important Old Master Paintings auction at Christies in New York in January 2000. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 420,500.00 (€ 430,972.64) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gabriel Metsu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Woman Selling Game From A Stall, which sold at auction in July 2009 for GBP 1,161,250.00 (€ 1,317,670.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit An elegant lady writing at her desk, with a dog beside her von Gabriel Metsu wurde im Januar 2000 in der Auktion Important Old Master Paintings bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 420.500,00 (€ 430.972,64) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Gabriel Metsu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Woman Selling Game From A Stall beobachtet, die im Juli 2009 für GBP 1.161.250,00 (€ 1.317.670,67) versteigert wurde.
