Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction The Scottish Sale, which included the work A monument to the Curatii near Albano, Italy by Jacob More. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,178.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacob More achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A View Of The Lake Of Nemi, Anciently Called Speculum Dianae, Near Rome in June 2008 with an auction result of GBP 63,650.00 (€ 80,455.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Scottish Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A monument to the Curatii near Albano, Italy von Jacob More zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.160,00 (€ 3.178,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacob More erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A View Of The Lake Of Nemi, Anciently Called Speculum Dianae, Near Rome im Juni 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 63.650,00 (€ 80.455,73).
