Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Jan Peeters achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2006. In the Master Drawings from the Oppé Collection auction, the work Athlone Castle, County Westmeath, Ireland sold for GBP 20,400.00 (€ 30,276.15) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Peeters - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ottoman forces attacking an islet fortress, possibly Grambusa, during the Siege of Candia, which sold at auction in December 2008 for GBP 63,650.00 (€ 66,851.02).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Peeters erzielte im Dezember 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Master Drawings from the Oppé Collection wurde die Arbeit Athlone Castle, County Westmeath, Ireland für GBP 20.400,00 (€ 30.276,15) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 10.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Peeters mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ottoman forces attacking an islet fortress, possibly Grambusa, during the Siege of Candia beobachtet, die im Dezember 2008 für GBP 63.650,00 (€ 66.851,02) versteigert wurde.
