Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2016 Christies in London held the auction From Ancient To Modern: A Distinguished Private Collection, which included the work Portrait of the Cordoban intellectual and writer Don Enrique Vaca de Alfaro (1635-1685), bust-length, in a brown coat by Juan de Valdés Leal. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 29,229.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Juan de Valdés Leal have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Visitation in January 2009 with an auction result of USD 182,500.00 (€ 142,533.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion From Ancient To Modern: A Distinguished Private Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of the Cordoban intellectual and writer Don Enrique Vaca de Alfaro (1635-1685), bust-length, in a brown coat von Juan de Valdés Leal zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 29.229,06) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Juan de Valdés Leal auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Visitation im Januar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 182.500,00 (€ 142.533,58).
