Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Christ in the House of Mary and Martha by Jan Steen was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2021. The price achieved of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 149,098.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Christ in the House of Mary and Martha von Jan Steen kam im Dezember 2021 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 149.098,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
