45¼ x 36½ in. (114.9 x 92.7 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work A mountainous river landscape with cattle drovers making a crossing by a ruined castle by Jan van der Bent was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 11,875.00 (€ 12,472.21). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan van der Bent - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A capriccio of a Mediterranean harbour with elegant travellers, a moor and an oriental merchants, and other figues, which sold at auction in July 2000 for GBP 18,800.00 (€ 30,399.35).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit A mountainous river landscape with cattle drovers making a crossing by a ruined castle von Jan van der Bent im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 11.875,00 (€ 12.472,21) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan van der Bent mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A capriccio of a Mediterranean harbour with elegant travellers, a moor and an oriental merchants, and other figues beobachtet, die im Juli 2000 für GBP 18.800,00 (€ 30.399,35) versteigert wurde.
