Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Grapes, chestnuts and a cantaloupe with a roemer and a façon de Venise wine glass on a stone ledge by Jacob van Walscapelle was sold in the Old Masters auction at Christies in New York in April 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 343,500.00 (€ 315,282.24) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacob van Walscapelle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A peony, an iris, a poppy, anemones, morning glory and other flowers, in a glass vase, with a caterpillar, a beetle and other insects, on a stone ledge, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 722,500.00 (€ 911,299.66).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Grapes, chestnuts and a cantaloupe with a roemer and a façon de Venise wine glass on a stone ledge von Jacob van Walscapelle wurde im April 2017 in der Auktion Old Masters bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 343.500,00 (€ 315.282,24) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacob van Walscapelle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A peony, an iris, a poppy, anemones, morning glory and other flowers, in a glass vase, with a caterpillar, a beetle and other insects, on a stone ledge beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 722.500,00 (€ 911.299,66) versteigert wurde.
