Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of Elisabet, Court Fool Of Anne Of Hungary by Jan Sanders van Hemessen was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,168,750.00 (€ 2,419,991.97). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Sanders van Hemessen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Double Portrait Of A Husband And Wife, Half-Length, Seated At A Table, Playing Tables, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 10,036,000.00 (€ 9,001,704.19).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Elisabet, Court Fool Of Anne Of Hungary von Jan Sanders van Hemessen im Juli 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.168.750,00 (€ 2.419.991,97) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Sanders van Hemessen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Double Portrait Of A Husband And Wife, Half-Length, Seated At A Table, Playing Tables beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 10.036.000,00 (€ 9.001.704,19) versteigert wurde.
