Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work A view of the Grote Markt, Haarlem, with the Town Hall in the background by Jan de Beijer. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,109.91). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan de Beijer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Amsterdam, The Nieuwe Kerk And The Back Of The Town Hall (Royal Palace) Seen From The Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, which sold at auction in July 2018 for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 33,636.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit A view of the Grote Markt, Haarlem, with the Town Hall in the background von Jan de Beijer zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.109,91) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan de Beijer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Amsterdam, The Nieuwe Kerk And The Back Of The Town Hall (Royal Palace) Seen From The Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal beobachtet, die im Juli 2018 für GBP 30.000,00 (€ 33.636,60) versteigert wurde.
