Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work The Battle Of Lützen, 1632, With King Gustav Adolf Ii Of Sweden by Jan Asselijn was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 117,500.00 (€ 131,743.34). Admittedly, works by Jan Asselijn have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Breach Of The Sint Anthonisdijk On The Night Of 5–6 March 1651 in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 602,500.00 (€ 775,617.30).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Battle Of Lützen, 1632, With King Gustav Adolf Ii Of Sweden von Jan Asselijn im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 117.500,00 (€ 131.743,34) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jan Asselijn auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Breach Of The Sint Anthonisdijk On The Night Of 5–6 March 1651 im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 602.500,00 (€ 775.617,30).
