Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A village scene in winter, with skaters on the ice by Hendrik Willem Schweickhardt was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 750.00 (€ 835.57). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hendrik Willem Schweickhardt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Boeren Buijtenvreugt': a wedding dance in a village in May 2002 with an auction result of EUR 35,850.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A village scene in winter, with skaters on the ice von Hendrik Willem Schweickhardt im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 750,00 (€ 835,57) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hendrik Willem Schweickhardt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Boeren Buijtenvreugt': a wedding dance in a village im Mai 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 35.850,00.
