Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Moses striking the rock by Jacob Willemsz. de Wet was sold in the Old Masters and British Paintings auction at Christies in London in December 2011. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,485.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacob Willemsz. de Wet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Joseph Vendant Du Blé En Egypte, which sold at auction in September 2021 for EUR 20,800.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Moses striking the rock von Jacob Willemsz. de Wet wurde im Dezember 2011 in der Auktion Old Masters and British Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.485,26) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacob Willemsz. de Wet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Joseph Vendant Du Blé En Egypte beobachtet, die im September 2021 für EUR 20.800,00 versteigert wurde.
