Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Herri met de Bles could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master Pictures auction, the work The Descent into Limbo changed hands for GBP 117,250.00 (€ 177,190.55) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Herri met de Bles konnte im Juli 2004 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master Pictures wechselte die Arbeit The Descent into Limbo für GBP 117.250,00 (€ 177.190,55) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00. 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).
