A top price for Gillis Rombouts - as previously expected
In July 2000 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work Peasants resting before a riverside cottage by Gillis Rombouts. The price achieved of GBP 9,400.00 (€ 15,199.68) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Peasants resting before a riverside cottage is the most expensive artwork by Gillis Rombouts that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Peasants resting before a riverside cottage von Gillis Rombouts zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 9.400,00 (€ 15.199,68) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Peasants resting before a riverside cottage das teuerste Kunstwerk von Gillis Rombouts, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
