Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Portrait of a man, three-quarter-length, possibly Pieter Wttenbogaert (1582-1660) by Govaert Flinck was sold in the Old Masters: Property from a Private Collection auction at Christies in New York in October 2019. The price achieved of USD 68,750.00 (€ 61,631.56) 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 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Portrait of a man, three-quarter-length, possibly Pieter Wttenbogaert (1582-1660) von Govaert Flinck wurde im Oktober 2019 in der Auktion Old Masters: Property from a Private Collection bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 61.631,56) 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 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).
