Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Still Life With Flowers In A Glass Vase, Together With A Red Admiral Butterfly, A Bee And Other Insects, And A Pocket Watch, A Peach And A Beetle On The Ledge Beneath by Jan van Kessel was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 385,250.00 (€ 461,391.29). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jan van Kessel; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Roses, Morning-Glory, A Carnation, An Iris And Other Flowers In A Porcelain Vase, With A Red Admiral, Caterpillars, Dragonflies And Other Insects In A Sculpted Niche; And Roses, An Iris, A Carnation, A Tulip And Other Flowers In A Porcelain Vase, Wit sold at auction in December 2013 with the realized price of GBP 578,500.00 (€ 695,845.7
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Still Life With Flowers In A Glass Vase, Together With A Red Admiral Butterfly, A Bee And Other Insects, And A Pocket Watch, A Peach And A Beetle On The Ledge Beneath von Jan van Kessel im Dezember 2011 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 385.250,00 (€ 461.391,29) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Jan van Kessel; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Roses, Morning-Glory, A Carnation, An Iris And Other Flowers In A Porcelain Vase, With A Red Admiral, Caterpillars, Dragonflies And Other Insects In A Sculpted Niche; And Roses, An Iris, A Carnation, A Tulip And Other Flowers In A Porcelain Vase, Wit im Dezember 2013 mit dem Hammer
