Sold at the upper estimate price
The work A Young Lady Playing The Lute To A Young Man Reading, Or An Allegory Of Sight And Hearing by Govaert Flinck was sold in the Old Masters Day Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2019. The auction ended at the price of GBP 40,000.00 (€ 47,275.32), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Govaert Flinck achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An old man at a casement in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 10,327,500.00 (€ 9,479,118.86).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit A Young Lady Playing The Lute To A Young Man Reading, Or An Allegory Of Sight And Hearing von Govaert Flinck wurde im Dezember 2019 in der Auktion Old Masters Day Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 40.000,00 (€ 47.275,32) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Govaert Flinck erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An old man at a casement im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.327.500,00 (€ 9.479.118,86).
