Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jan Luyken could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master, 19th Century & British Drawings & Watercolours auction, the work A theatrical scene: a man soaked in water from a bucket changed hands for GBP 750.00 (€ 870.00) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Luyken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The construction of Solomon's temple in January 2009 with an auction result of USD 45,000.00 (€ 35,145.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Luyken konnte im Dezember 2010 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master, 19th Century & British Drawings & Watercolours wechselte die Arbeit A theatrical scene: a man soaked in water from a bucket für GBP 750,00 (€ 870,00) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Luyken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The construction of Solomon's temple im Januar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 45.000,00 (€ 35.145,27).
