Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Sleeping Old Woman Teased By A Youth With A Candle by Jan Verkolje the Elder was sold in the Old Masters auction at Sothebys in London in May 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 9,904.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Sleeping Old Woman Teased By A Youth With A Candle von Jan Verkolje the Elder wurde im Mai 2019 in der Auktion Old Masters bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 9.904,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
