A top price for Claes Molenaer
When the work A Waterfall In A Mountainous River Landscape by Claes Molenaer was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 56,250.00 (€ 63,471.46). This high result makes A Waterfall In A Mountainous River Landscape the most expensive artwork by Claes Molenaer that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Claes Molenaer
Als die Arbeit A Waterfall In A Mountainous River Landscape von Claes Molenaer im September 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 56.250,00 (€ 63.471,46) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A Waterfall In A Mountainous River Landscape zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Claes Molenaer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
