Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Butterflies, A Moth, Ladybird And Other Insects With A Sprig Of Auricula by Jan van Kessel I. It changed hands for a price of GBP 296,750.00 (€ 331,127.43) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan van Kessel I - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Garden And House Spiders With Grass Snakes And Caterpillars Contorted And Entwined To Spell The Artist'S Name; A Sprig Of Redcurrants With An Elephant Hawk Moth, A Ladybird, A Millipede And Other Insects, which sold at auction in December 2014 for GBP 542,500.00 (€ 698,377.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Butterflies, A Moth, Ladybird And Other Insects With A Sprig Of Auricula von Jan van Kessel I zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 296.750,00 (€ 331.127,43) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan van Kessel I mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Garden And House Spiders With Grass Snakes And Caterpillars Contorted And Entwined To Spell The Artist'S Name; A Sprig Of Redcurrants With An Elephant Hawk Moth, A Ladybird, A Millipede And Other Insects beobachtet, die im Dezember 2014 für GBP 542.500,00 (€ 698.377,41) versteigert wurde.
