Auction result well in line with expectations

In April 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Weldon Collection, which included the work Portrait Of A Scholar by Gerrit Dou. The price achieved of USD 610,000.00 (€ 546,497.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. Admittedly, works by Gerrit Dou have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An Elderly Woman, Seated By A Window At Her Spinning Wheel, Eating Porridge in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 5,346,500.00 (€ 3,898,286.55).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The Weldon Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Scholar von Gerrit Dou zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 610.000,00 (€ 546.497,04) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Gerrit Dou auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An Elderly Woman, Seated By A Window At Her Spinning Wheel, Eating Porridge im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.346.500,00 (€ 3.898.286,55).
