Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Calm Sea With A Man Of War And A Fishing Boat by Julius Porcellis was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,539.12). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Julius Porcellis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A wijdschip lowering sails with fishermen in a rowing boat hauling in their nets, as a storm approaches, which sold at auction in November 2000 for NLG 87,765.00 (€ 41,116.50).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Calm Sea With A Man Of War And A Fishing Boat von Julius Porcellis im Dezember 2013 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.539,12) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Julius Porcellis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A wijdschip lowering sails with fishermen in a rowing boat hauling in their nets, as a storm approaches beobachtet, die im November 2000 für NLG 87.765,00 (€ 41.116,50) versteigert wurde.
