Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Young Fiddler Making Music Accompanied By Two Peasants Singing In An Interior by Mattheus van Helmont was sold in the Old Master & British Pictures auction at Christies in London in April 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,375.00 (€ 8,127.22) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Mattheus van Helmont have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Villagers Celebrating A Wedding Feast Outside A Country Tavern in May 2006 with an auction result of EUR 60,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A Young Fiddler Making Music Accompanied By Two Peasants Singing In An Interior von Mattheus van Helmont wurde im April 2008 in der Auktion Old Master & British Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 6.375,00 (€ 8.127,22) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mattheus van Helmont auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Villagers Celebrating A Wedding Feast Outside A Country Tavern im Mai 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 60.000,00.
