Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2016 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Old Masters & 19th Century Art - including Dutch Impressionism, which included the work Barques au large: bomschuiten in the breakers by Hendrik Willem Mesdag. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 92,500.00 16% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Hendrik Willem Mesdag have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Marée Bas in April 2001 with an auction result of NLG 895,000.00 (€ 410,788.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2016 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Old Masters & 19th Century Art - including Dutch Impressionism durch, in der auch die Arbeit Barques au large: bomschuiten in the breakers von Hendrik Willem Mesdag zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 92.500,00 und damit 16% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hendrik Willem Mesdag auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Marée Bas im April 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von NLG 895.000,00 (€ 410.788,26).
