A top price for Henri Leys

When the work Mary of Burgundy distributing alms by Henri Leys was auctioned at Christies in London in July last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 50,400.00 (€ 60,186.55). This high result makes Mary of Burgundy distributing alms the most expensive artwork by Henri Leys that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Henri Leys

Als die Arbeit Mary of Burgundy distributing alms von Henri Leys im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 50.400,00 (€ 60.186,55) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Mary of Burgundy distributing alms zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Henri Leys, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
