Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master And 19th Century Drawings, which included the work A distant view of a town, with a wooded road in the foreground by Hans Bol. The price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 8,422.61) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hans Bol achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Elegant Hunting Party Before The Abbey Of Rouge-Cloître, Near Brussels in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 241,250.00 (€ 276,870.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master And 19th Century Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A distant view of a town, with a wooded road in the foreground von Hans Bol zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 8.422,61) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hans Bol erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Elegant Hunting Party Before The Abbey Of Rouge-Cloître, Near Brussels im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 241.250,00 (€ 276.870,47).
