Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Temptation Of Saint Anthony by Mattheus van Helmont was auctioned at Sothebys in Amsterdam in May 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 38,650.00. Other works by Mattheus van Helmont have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May 2006 by the work Villagers Celebrating A Wedding Feast Outside A Country Tavern at EUR 60,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Temptation Of Saint Anthony von Mattheus van Helmont im Mai 2008 bei Sothebys in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 38.650,00 den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Mattheus van Helmont wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Mai 2006 die Arbeit Villagers Celebrating A Wedding Feast Outside A Country Tavern mit EUR 60.000,00.
