The work A Young Woman Setting A Bird Free From A Cage At An Open Window; And A Young Woman With A Guitar Seated At An Open Window by Martin Drölling was sold in the Old Masters Day Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2019. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 81,250.00 (€ 96,027.99), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martin Drölling - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vue Des Jardins de La Villa Médicis, which sold at auction in June 2006 for EUR 258,400.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit A Young Woman Setting A Bird Free From A Cage At An Open Window; And A Young Woman With A Guitar Seated At An Open Window von Martin Drölling wurde im Dezember 2019 in der Auktion Old Masters Day Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 81.250,00 (€ 96.027,99) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Martin Drölling mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vue Des Jardins de La Villa Médicis beobachtet, die im Juni 2006 für EUR 258.400,00 versteigert wurde.
