Auction result well in line with expectations

In April 2015 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings, which included the work Saint Peter in jail by Matthias Stomer. The price achieved of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 60,078.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Matthias Stomer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ Disputing With The Doctors in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 2,650,000.00 (€ 2,446,454.95).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint Peter in jail von Matthias Stomer zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 60.078,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Matthias Stomer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ Disputing With The Doctors im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.650.000,00 (€ 2.446.454,95).
