Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2018 Christies in London held the auction Important Old Master Paintings from The Eric Albada Jelgersma Collection: Evening sale, which included the work An extensive wooded landscape with travellers on a road, a church in the distance by Jan Breughel I. The price achieved of GBP 3,608,750.00 (€ 4,020,467.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Breughel I - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Garden Of Eden With The Fall Of Man, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 6,802,500.00 (€ 8,580,091.30).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Old Master Paintings from The Eric Albada Jelgersma Collection: Evening sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit An extensive wooded landscape with travellers on a road, a church in the distance von Jan Breughel I zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.608.750,00 (€ 4.020.467,55) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Breughel I mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Garden Of Eden With The Fall Of Man beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 6.802.500,00 (€ 8.580.091,30) versteigert wurde.
