Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Jan Sanders van Hemessen could be acquired at Christies in New York in January this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Remastered: Old Masters from the Collection of J.E. Safra - Selling Without Reserve auction, the work A Vanitas: As we are born, we die changed hands for USD 655,200.00 (€ 603,426.05) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Sanders van Hemessen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Double Portrait Of A Husband And Wife, Half-Length, Seated At A Table, Playing Tables in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 10,036,000.00 (€ 9,001,704.19).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Sanders van Hemessen konnte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Remastered: Old Masters from the Collection of J.E. Safra - Selling Without Reserve wechselte die Arbeit A Vanitas: As we are born, we die für USD 655.200,00 (€ 603.426,05) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Sanders van Hemessen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Double Portrait Of A Husband And Wife, Half-Length, Seated At A Table, Playing Tables im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.036.000,00 (€ 9.001.704,19).
