A top price for Hendrik Pothoven
When the work Portrait of a young page, probably Guan Anthony Sideron, servant of Willem V, Prince of Orange by Hendrik Pothoven was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 37 times as high at USD 151,200.00 (€ 134,855.51). This high result makes Portrait of a young page, probably Guan Anthony Sideron, servant of Willem V, Prince of Orange the most expensive artwork by Hendrik Pothoven that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Hendrik Pothoven
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a young page, probably Guan Anthony Sideron, servant of Willem V, Prince of Orange von Hendrik Pothoven im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 151.200,00 (€ 134.855,51) mehr als 37-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait of a young page, probably Guan Anthony Sideron, servant of Willem V, Prince of Orange zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Hendrik Pothoven, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
