Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2000 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Pictures, Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work A nobleman and his wife on an evening stroll by a mansion by Jan Gerard Smits. The price achieved of NLG 1,170.20 (€ 514.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as NLG 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Gerard Smits achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Damrak entree Amsterdam: a view of the Damrak, Amsterdam in February 2004 with an auction result of EUR 8,365.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2000 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Pictures, Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A nobleman and his wife on an evening stroll by a mansion von Jan Gerard Smits zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von NLG 1.170,20 (€ 514,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit NLG 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Gerard Smits erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Damrak entree Amsterdam: a view of the Damrak, Amsterdam im Februar 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 8.365,00.
