Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Harmen Fransz. Hals achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2005. In the Old Master Pictures & Drawings auction, the work Two women reading in an interior sold for GBP 2,280.00 (€ 3,309.29) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Harmen Fransz. Hals - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work L'intérieur d'une taverne, which sold at auction in November 2002 for EUR 9,400.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Harmen Fransz. Hals erzielte im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Pictures & Drawings wurde die Arbeit Two women reading in an interior für GBP 2.280,00 (€ 3.309,29) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Harmen Fransz. Hals mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit L'intérieur d'une taverne beobachtet, die im November 2002 für EUR 9.400,00 versteigert wurde.
