A top price for Hendrik Danckerts - as previously expected

In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction The London Sale, which included the work View of St. James's Palace and the gardens, from the south-west with figures promenading by Hendrik Danckerts. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 31,070.00 (€ 48,656.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, View of St. James's Palace and the gardens, from the south-west with figures promenading is the most expensive artwork by Hendrik Danckerts that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion The London Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit View of St. James's Palace and the gardens, from the south-west with figures promenading von Hendrik Danckerts zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 31.070,00 (€ 48.656,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist View of St. James's Palace and the gardens, from the south-west with figures promenading das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hendrik Danckerts, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
