Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In April last year Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work An Allegory of the Arts; An Allegory of Learning by Hendrik Willem Schweickhardt. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,080.00 (€ 12,020.04), 68% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hendrik Willem Schweickhardt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Boeren Buijtenvreugt': a wedding dance in a village, which sold at auction in May 2002 for EUR 35,850.00.

Im April letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Allegory of the Arts; An Allegory of Learning von Hendrik Willem Schweickhardt zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 10.080,00 (€ 12.020,04) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Hendrik Willem Schweickhardt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Boeren Buijtenvreugt': a wedding dance in a village beobachtet, die im Mai 2002 für EUR 35.850,00 versteigert wurde.
