Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Gerrit van Honthorst achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2011. In the Old Master and British Paintings Day Sale auction, the work Portrait Of A Lady, Half Length, Wearing A Red Cloak sold for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,214.74) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Gerrit van Honthorst erzielte im Juli 2011 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master and British Paintings Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Half Length, Wearing A Red Cloak für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.214,74) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. 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).
