Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work An Interior With Figures Preparing Fish by Jan Steen was sold in the Old Masters Part II auction at Christies in New York in April 2018. The »bidding war« ended at USD 35,000.00 (€ 28,987.91), 17% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Steen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Prayer Before The Meal in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,641,250.00 (€ 6,957,227.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit An Interior With Figures Preparing Fish von Jan Steen wurde im April 2018 in der Auktion Old Masters Part II bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 28.987,91) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Steen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Prayer Before The Meal im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.641.250,00 (€ 6.957.227,93).
