A top price for Hans Vredeman de Vries - as previously expected
In December 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale, which included the work Trajan And The Widow by Hans Vredeman de Vries. The price achieved of GBP 116,500.00 (€ 140,131.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Trajan And The Widow is the most expensive artwork by Hans Vredeman de Vries that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Trajan And The Widow von Hans Vredeman de Vries zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 116.500,00 (€ 140.131,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Trajan And The Widow das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hans Vredeman de Vries, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
