Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen

Im Oktober 2020 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Masters durch, in der auch die Arbeit A young man in a gorget with a plumed hat von Govaert Flinck zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.470.000,00 (€ 1.262.127,59) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Govaert Flinck auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An old man at a casement im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.327.500,00 (€ 9.479.118,86).
