Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Still Life Of Game Birds, Grouse, A Hare And A Kingfisher, With A Basket Of Fruit At The Foot Of A Stone Urn, An Ornamental Garden With A Fountain Beyond by Jan Weenix was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 58,850.00 (€ 70,481.19). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Weenix - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A sunflower, roses, parrot tulips, a carnation and other flowers in a glass vase on a partly draped marble table, which sold at auction in July 2000 for GBP 135,750.00 (€ 219,505.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Still Life Of Game Birds, Grouse, A Hare And A Kingfisher, With A Basket Of Fruit At The Foot Of A Stone Urn, An Ornamental Garden With A Fountain Beyond von Jan Weenix im Dezember 2011 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 58.850,00 (€ 70.481,19) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Weenix mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A sunflower, roses, parrot tulips, a carnation and other flowers in a glass vase on a partly draped marble table beobachtet, die im Juli 2000 für GBP 135.750,00 (€ 219.505,96) versteigert wurde.
