Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Extensive Coastal Landscape With The Calling Of Saint Peter by Herri met de Bles was sold in the Old Masters Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 212,500.00 (€ 239,137.62) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Herri met de Bles have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A siege at Thérouanne, with an army led by Charles V encamped below the city in December 2009 with an auction result of GBP 1,049,250.00 (€ 1,183,590.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Extensive Coastal Landscape With The Calling Of Saint Peter von Herri met de Bles wurde im Dezember 2017 in der Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 212.500,00 (€ 239.137,62) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Herri met de Bles auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A siege at Thérouanne, with an army led by Charles V encamped below the city im Dezember 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.049.250,00 (€ 1.183.590,90).
