Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Capriccio View of A Levant Harbour With Travellers, Camels And Other Animals On A Quay by Jan Baptist van der Meiren was sold in the Old Master Pictures auction at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2006. The price achieved of EUR 18,000.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Baptist van der Meiren - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond, which sold at auction in April 2005 for GBP 26,400.00 (€ 39,075.84).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A Capriccio View of A Levant Harbour With Travellers, Camels And Other Animals On A Quay von Jan Baptist van der Meiren wurde im Mai 2006 in der Auktion Old Master Pictures bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 18.000,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Baptist van der Meiren mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond beobachtet, die im April 2005 für GBP 26.400,00 (€ 39.075,84) versteigert wurde.
