Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
In October 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Old Masters: Property from a Private Collection, which included the work The glass of wine by Jan Steen. The »bidding war« ended at USD 168,750.00 (€ 151,277.45), 41% 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 um 41 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Masters: Property from a Private Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit The glass of wine von Jan Steen zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 168.750,00 (€ 151.277,45) und damit 41% 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).
