Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work A Portrait Of A Gentleman, Half-Length, Believed To Be Sir Thomas Ogle, Wearing A Suit Of Armour, With A White Collar And An Orange Sash by Gerrit van Honthorst was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 32,500.00 (€ 37,386.13). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerrit van Honthorst achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Merry Group Behind A Balustrade With A Violin And A Lute Player in January 2014 with an auction result of USD 7,557,000.00 (€ 5,597,777.78).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Portrait Of A Gentleman, Half-Length, Believed To Be Sir Thomas Ogle, Wearing A Suit Of Armour, With A White Collar And An Orange Sash von Gerrit van Honthorst im April 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 32.500,00 (€ 37.386,13) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerrit van Honthorst erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Merry Group Behind A Balustrade With A Violin And A Lute Player im Januar 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.557.000,00 (€ 5.597.777,78).
