Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Democritus by Hendrick Bloemaert was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2008. The price achieved of GBP 103,250.00 (€ 108,442.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hendrick Bloemaert achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Allegory Of Winter in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 866,500.00 (€ 1,115,472.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Democritus von Hendrick Bloemaert kam im Dezember 2008 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 103.250,00 (€ 108.442,54) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hendrick Bloemaert erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Allegory Of Winter im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 866.500,00 (€ 1.115.472,85).
