Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Pieter Westenberg could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours auction, the work A track near a fort and another building (recto); and Study of a fallen tree (verso) changed hands for GBP 562.50 (€ 673.67) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Pieter Westenberg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The 'Goslerhuisje' On The Antoniesluis Near The Jodenbreestraat, Amsterdam in October 2007 with an auction result of EUR 11,650.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Pieter Westenberg konnte im Dezember 2011 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours wechselte die Arbeit A track near a fort and another building (recto); and Study of a fallen tree (verso) für GBP 562,50 (€ 673,67) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Pieter Westenberg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The 'Goslerhuisje' On The Antoniesluis Near The Jodenbreestraat, Amsterdam im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 11.650,00.
