Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
The work Boats At Sea by Hendrik Willem Mesdag was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 93,750.00 (€ 102,931.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hendrik Willem Mesdag - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Marée Bas, which sold at auction in April 2001 for NLG 895,000.00 (€ 410,788.26).
