Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Half-length portrait of a seated woman by Jacques de Gheyn II. was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 94,500.00 (€ 110,820.84). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacques de Gheyn II. achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A large beech, partly in leaf in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 1,142,500.00 (€ 1,441,051.72).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Half-length portrait of a seated woman von Jacques de Gheyn II. im Juli 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 94.500,00 (€ 110.820,84) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacques de Gheyn II. erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A large beech, partly in leaf im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.142.500,00 (€ 1.441.051,72).
