Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Country Fair by Jan Theodor de Bry was sold in the Old Master Prints auction at Christies in New York in January 2019. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,619.17), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Theodor de Bry achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Florilegium renovatum et auctum, Frankfurt, 1641, coloured plates, calf gilt in May last year with an auction result of GBP 107,100.00 (€ 125,992.95).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Country Fair von Jan Theodor de Bry wurde im Januar 2019 in der Auktion Old Master Prints bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 3.000,00 (€ 2.619,17) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Theodor de Bry erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Florilegium renovatum et auctum, Frankfurt, 1641, coloured plates, calf gilt im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 107.100,00 (€ 125.992,95).
