Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Sheep Grazing Among Classical Monuments by Jacob Simonsz. van der Does was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,662.90). Other works by Jacob Simonsz. van der Does have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in June 2007 by the work Landscape With Herders Tending To Their Livestock Outside Of A Barn at USD 5,400.00 (€ 3,994.08).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Sheep Grazing Among Classical Monuments von Jacob Simonsz. van der Does im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.662,90) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Jacob Simonsz. van der Does wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Juni 2007 die Arbeit Landscape With Herders Tending To Their Livestock Outside Of A Barn mit USD 5.400,00 (€ 3.994,08).
