Gaspar de Crayer (Antwerp 1584-1669 Ghent)
The Martyrdom of Saint Dorothea
oil on canvas
68 x 52¼ in. (172.8 x 132.8 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Gaspar de Crayer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2003. In the OLD MASTER PICTURES auction, the work The Martyrdom of Saint Dorothea sold for GBP 38,240.00 (€ 49,824.10) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gaspar de Crayer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ferdinand, Cardinal-Infante Of Spain (1610–1641), On Horseback, which sold at auction in July 2019 for GBP 168,750.00 (€ 185,276.28).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Gaspar de Crayer erzielte im April 2003 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion OLD MASTER PICTURES wurde die Arbeit The Martyrdom of Saint Dorothea für GBP 38.240,00 (€ 49.824,10) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 18.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gaspar de Crayer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ferdinand, Cardinal-Infante Of Spain (1610–1641), On Horseback beobachtet, die im Juli 2019 für GBP 168.750,00 (€ 185.276,28) versteigert wurde.
