Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work A poppy, a snowball, pink and yellow roses, carnations, grapes, blackberries, an ear of wheat and sprigs of oak and holly suspended by a ribbon from a nail, with a Red Admiral, a Cabbage White, a grasshopper and a spider by Maria van Oosterwyck. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 20,315.00 (€ 28,773.54) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Maria van Oosterwyck achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Still Life Of Roses, Carnations, Marigolds And Other Flowers With A Sunflower And Striped Grass, In A Glass Vase With A Knife And String Upon A Marble Ledge in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 1,426,500.00 (€ 1,040,102.08).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A poppy, a snowball, pink and yellow roses, carnations, grapes, blackberries, an ear of wheat and sprigs of oak and holly suspended by a ribbon from a nail, with a Red Admiral, a Cabbage White, a grasshopper and a spider von Maria van Oosterwyck zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 20.315,00 (€ 28.773,54) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Maria van Oosterwyck erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Still Life Of Roses, Carnations, Marigolds And Other Flowers With A Sunflower And Striped Grass, In A Glass Vase With A Knife And String Upon A Marble Ledge im Janua
