Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale, which included the work Portrait Of Michael Boyle, Lord Primate And Chancellor Of Ireland (C.1609-1702) by Gerard Soest. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,707.99) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Gerard Soest have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of a boy from the Ashley-Cooper family, half-length, wearing a blue wrap and a white shirt with a dog in a landscape in December 2018 with an auction result of GBP 40,000.00 (€ 44,563.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Michael Boyle, Lord Primate And Chancellor Of Ireland (C.1609-1702) von Gerard Soest zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.707,99) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Gerard Soest auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of a boy from the Ashley-Cooper family, half-length, wearing a blue wrap and a white shirt with a dog in a landscape im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 40.000,00 (€ 44.563,55).
