Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A winter landscape with peasants cutting wood by Jacob Cats was auctioned at Christies in New York in January this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,260.00 (€ 1,160.43). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacob Cats achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Month Of December: A Winter Landscape With Skaters And Sledges On A Frozen River By A Village, Possibly The Village Of Nieuwland, Near Leerdam in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 26,250.00 (€ 24,233.75).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A winter landscape with peasants cutting wood von Jacob Cats im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.260,00 (€ 1.160,43) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacob Cats erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Month Of December: A Winter Landscape With Skaters And Sledges On A Frozen River By A Village, Possibly The Village Of Nieuwland, Near Leerdam im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 26.250,00 (€ 24.233,75).
