Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Two Turkish Merchants Conversing by Jacob Toorenvliet was sold in the Old Masters Day Sale auction at Sothebys in London in July 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,711.74) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacob Toorenvliet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rabbinical Discussion, which sold at auction in January 2011 for USD 104,500.00 (€ 76,193.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Two Turkish Merchants Conversing von Jacob Toorenvliet wurde im Juli 2017 in der Auktion Old Masters Day Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 23.711,74) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacob Toorenvliet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Rabbinical Discussion beobachtet, die im Januar 2011 für USD 104.500,00 (€ 76.193,95) versteigert wurde.
