This artwork by Jan Swart van Gronigen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2005. In the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction, the work The Arch at the Philistines (1 Samuel 4-6) sold for USD 13,200.00 (€ 10,115.72) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Swart van Gronigen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Temptation, with the Rebuke and the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden beyond in October 2001 with an auction result of USD 193,000.00 (€ 214,611.36).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Swart van Gronigen erzielte im Januar 2005 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings wurde die Arbeit The Arch at the Philistines (1 Samuel 4-6) für USD 13.200,00 (€ 10.115,72) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Swart van Gronigen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Temptation, with the Rebuke and the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden beyond im Oktober 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 193.000,00 (€ 214.611,36).
