Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Old woman seated with a young girl before a window by Jacobus Vrel was sold in the Master Paintings & Sculpture Part I auction at Sothebys in New York in January last year. 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 302,400.00 (€ 269,711.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacobus Vrel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Cobbled Street In A Town With People Conversing, which sold at auction in July 2018 for GBP 838,000.00 (€ 939,582.27).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Old woman seated with a young girl before a window von Jacobus Vrel wurde im Januar letzten Jahres in der Auktion Master Paintings & Sculpture Part I bei Sothebys 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 302.400,00 (€ 269.711,02) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacobus Vrel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Cobbled Street In A Town With People Conversing beobachtet, die im Juli 2018 für GBP 838.000,00 (€ 939.582,27) versteigert wurde.
