Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.

In October this year Il Ponte held the auction Furniture and Old Master Paintings, which included the work Portrait of a Statholder by Gerrit van Honthorst. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 30,000.00 25% above the upper estimate. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen

Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Il Ponte die Auktion Furniture and Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a Statholder von Gerrit van Honthorst zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 30.000,00 und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
