Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
The work The Tribulations of Job by Gerard de Lairesse was sold in the Old Master and British Pictures and Old Master Drawings auction at Christies in London in April 2007. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,080.00 (€ 1,581.26), 35% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerard de Lairesse achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Marriage of Peleus and Thetis in January this year with an auction result of USD 819,000.00 (€ 754,282.56).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Tribulations of Job von Gerard de Lairesse wurde im April 2007 in der Auktion Old Master and British Pictures and Old Master Drawings bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.080,00 (€ 1.581,26) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerard de Lairesse erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Marriage of Peleus and Thetis im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 819.000,00 (€ 754.282,56).
