In September 2007 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction European Noble and Private Collections, which included the work Figures fishing through a hole in the ice near a farmsted by Jacob van Strij. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 4,375.00 46% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacob van Strij - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Southern Hilly Landscape With Shepherds Resting With Their Herd, A View Of Ruins Beyond, which sold at auction in November 2008 for EUR 13,750.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen

Im September 2007 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion European Noble and Private Collections durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figures fishing through a hole in the ice near a farmsted von Jacob van Strij zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 4.375,00 und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacob van Strij mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Southern Hilly Landscape With Shepherds Resting With Their Herd, A View Of Ruins Beyond beobachtet, die im November 2008 für EUR 13.750,00 versteigert wurde.
