Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work An inhabited ruin near a river by Jan van de Velde II was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 230,500.00 (€ 290,732.97). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jan van de Velde II; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A Village On A Broad River With Two Horseman At A Gateway To The Left; And An Abbey By A River With A Group of Monks On A Track sold at auction in July 2005 with the realized price of GBP 355,200.00 (€ 515,214.25).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit An inhabited ruin near a river von Jan van de Velde II im Juli 2014 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 230.500,00 (€ 290.732,97) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Jan van de Velde II; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A Village On A Broad River With Two Horseman At A Gateway To The Left; And An Abbey By A River With A Group of Monks On A Track im Juli 2005 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 355.200,00 (€ 515.214,25).
