Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Alexander and the wives of Darius by Leonaert Bramer was sold in the Quality in Detail. The Juli and Andrew Wieg Collection auction at Sothebys in London in March 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 2,268.00 (€ 2,664.32). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leonaert Bramer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Circumcision in December 2004 with an auction result of GBP 41,825.00 (€ 59,193.90).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Alexander and the wives of Darius von Leonaert Bramer wurde im März 2021 in der Auktion Quality in Detail. The Juli and Andrew Wieg Collection bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 2.268,00 (€ 2.664,32) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leonaert Bramer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Circumcision im Dezember 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 41.825,00 (€ 59.193,90).
