Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Sarah Brings Hagar To Abraham by Matthias Stomer. The price achieved of GBP 615,000.00 (€ 675,229.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Matthias Stomer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Christ Disputing With The Doctors, which sold at auction in January 2016 for USD 2,650,000.00 (€ 2,446,454.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sarah Brings Hagar To Abraham von Matthias Stomer zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 615.000,00 (€ 675.229,11) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Matthias Stomer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Christ Disputing With The Doctors beobachtet, die im Januar 2016 für USD 2.650.000,00 (€ 2.446.454,95) versteigert wurde.
