Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
The work The Flight into Egypt by Jan Steen was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,281.77), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. 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 um 67 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Flight into Egypt von Jan Steen kam im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 22.281,77) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 67%. 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).
