Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In July 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Works on Paper, which included the work Study Of The Head Of A Bearded Old Man by Jacques de Gheyn II.. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 52,500.00 (€ 58,581.94), 50% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study Of The Head Of A Bearded Old Man von Jacques de Gheyn II. zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 52.500,00 (€ 58.581,94) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
