Upper estimate price exceeded by 89 %.
This artwork by Jan Steen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2016. In the Old Masters Evening Sale auction, the work A Riotous Schoolroom With A Snoozing Schoolmaster sold for GBP 341,000.00 (€ 405,181.77) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Steen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Prayer Before The Meal in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,641,250.00 (€ 6,957,227.93).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Steen erzielte im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit A Riotous Schoolroom With A Snoozing Schoolmaster für GBP 341.000,00 (€ 405.181,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 180.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Steen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Prayer Before The Meal im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.641.250,00 (€ 6.957.227,93).
