Auction result well in line with expectations

The work La raison du plus fort: Two dogs fighting over meat by Jan Baptist Weenix was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 48,034.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Jan Baptist Weenix have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Italianate landscape with a shepherd showing a woman his flock in December 2018 with an auction result of GBP 248,750.00 (€ 277,129.56).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit La raison du plus fort: Two dogs fighting over meat von Jan Baptist Weenix kam im Juli 2019 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 48.034,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jan Baptist Weenix auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Italianate landscape with a shepherd showing a woman his flock im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 248.750,00 (€ 277.129,56).
