Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Mucius Scaevola Before Porsenna by Hendrick ter Brugghen was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 281,000.00 (€ 208,148.15). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hendrick ter Brugghen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bagpipe Player In Profile in January 2009 with an auction result of USD 10,162,500.00 (€ 7,936,972.82).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Mucius Scaevola Before Porsenna von Hendrick ter Brugghen im Januar 2014 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 300.000,00 – 400.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 281.000,00 (€ 208.148,15) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hendrick ter Brugghen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bagpipe Player In Profile im Januar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.162.500,00 (€ 7.936.972,82).
