Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.

In October 2021 Christies held the auction Made In Holland, which included the work Bomschuiten on a calm sea by Hendrik Willem Mesdag. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 40,000.00 33% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hendrik Willem Mesdag achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Marée Bas in April 2001 with an auction result of NLG 895,000.00 (€ 410,788.26).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen

Im Oktober 2021 führte Christies die Auktion Made In Holland durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bomschuiten on a calm sea von Hendrik Willem Mesdag zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 40.000,00 und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hendrik Willem Mesdag erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Marée Bas im April 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von NLG 895.000,00 (€ 410.788,26).
