A top price for Jan Cossiers
When the work The Parable Of The Prodigal Son by Jan Cossiers was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 662,500.00 (€ 852,857.20). This high result makes The Parable Of The Prodigal Son the most expensive artwork by Jan Cossiers that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Jan Cossiers
Als die Arbeit The Parable Of The Prodigal Son von Jan Cossiers im Dezember 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 662.500,00 (€ 852.857,20) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Parable Of The Prodigal Son zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jan Cossiers, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
