Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Shepherdess Holding Plums by Gerrit van Honthorst was sold in the The Dealer's Eye | New York auction at Sothebys in New York in June 2020. The price achieved of USD 68,750.00 (€ 61,214.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Shepherdess Holding Plums von Gerrit van Honthorst wurde im Juni 2020 in der Auktion The Dealer's Eye | New York bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 61.214,50) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
