A top price for Jan Fijt

When the work A hunting still life of a hare, partridges, snipes and other birds, together with three spaniels, a hooded falcon, a rifle and a game-bag and belt in a hilly landscape by Jan Fijt was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at EUR 265,000.00. This high result makes A hunting still life of a hare, partridges, snipes and other birds, together with three spaniels, a hooded falcon, a rifle and a game-bag and belt in a hilly landscape the most expensive artwork by Jan Fijt that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Jan Fijt

Als die Arbeit A hunting still life of a hare, partridges, snipes and other birds, together with three spaniels, a hooded falcon, a rifle and a game-bag and belt in a hilly landscape von Jan Fijt im November 2012 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 265.000,00 mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A hunting still life of a hare, partridges, snipes and other birds, together with three spaniels, a hooded falcon, a rifle and a game-bag and belt in a hilly landscape zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jan Fijt, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
