HENDRIK WILLEM MESDAG (1831-1915) The casting of the anchor signed 'HW Mesdag' (lower right) oil on canvas 140 x 181 cm.

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work The casting of the anchor by Hendrik Willem Mesdag was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in October last year. Here, the upper estimate of EUR 100,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 107,100.00. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit The casting of the anchor von Hendrik Willem Mesdag kam im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von EUR 100.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für EUR 107.100,00 einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Hendrik Willem Mesdag mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Marée Bas beobachtet, die im April 2001 für NLG 895.000,00 (€ 410.788,26) versteigert wurde.
