Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work View Of A Village Street With Thatched Cottages by Jan Baptist Weenix was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,125.00 (€ 3,970.35). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Baptist Weenix achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit View Of A Village Street With Thatched Cottages von Jan Baptist Weenix im Juli 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.125,00 (€ 3.970,35) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Baptist Weenix erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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).
