Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jan de Braij could be acquired at Bukowski in Stockholm in June 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important Spring Sale auction, the work Mercury and Aglauros at the door of Herse's chamber changed hands for SEK 200,000.00 (€ 19,716.41) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of SEK 300,000.00 – 350,000.00. Admittedly, works by Jan de Braij have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Violin Player Accompanying Two Young Singers in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 177,208.02).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan de Braij konnte im Juni 2021 bei Bukowski in Stockholm für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important Spring Sale wechselte die Arbeit Mercury and Aglauros at the door of Herse's chamber für SEK 200.000,00 (€ 19.716,41) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von SEK 300.000,00 – 350.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jan de Braij auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Violin Player Accompanying Two Young Singers im Juli 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 177.208,02).
