Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In January this year Christies in New York held the auction Old Master Paintings and Sculpture Online, which included the work A young boy holding a candle teasing a sleeping woman by Jan Verkolje the Elder. Here, the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 16,380.00 (€ 15,085.65). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Verkolje the Elder - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Portrait Of Two Sisters And Their Brother Playing With A Dog, which sold at auction in December 2011 for GBP 31,250.00 (€ 37,426.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Januar diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master Paintings and Sculpture Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit A young boy holding a candle teasing a sleeping woman von Jan Verkolje the Elder zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 16.380,00 (€ 15.085,65) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Verkolje the Elder mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Portrait Of Two Sisters And Their Brother Playing With A Dog beobachtet, die im Dezember 2011 für GBP 31.250,00 (€ 37.426,29) versteigert wurde.
