Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work Five sheets of figure studies, two with individual figures, one with a couple, one with a woman and a cat, and one with a group of four figures, all seen in profile or from behind by Jan Porcellis was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2011. It achieved a price of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,592.92), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Porcellis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A damlooper and rowboat in a choppy sea by a jetty in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 43,750.00 (€ 37,563.32).

Die Arbeit Five sheets of figure studies, two with individual figures, one with a couple, one with a woman and a cat, and one with a group of four figures, all seen in profile or from behind von Jan Porcellis kam im Dezember 2011 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.592,92) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 50%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Porcellis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A damlooper and rowboat in a choppy sea by a jetty im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 37.563,32).
