Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work A Crouching Male Figure by Karel van Mander for GBP 39,650.00 (€ 50,375.77). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Drawings at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Karel van Mander - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A male nude, seen from behind, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 80,500.00 (€ 101,535.81).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Crouching Male Figure von Karel van Mander für GBP 39.650,00 (€ 50.375,77) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Karel van Mander mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A male nude, seen from behind beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 80.500,00 (€ 101.535,81) versteigert wurde.
