Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A brace of rabbits and small birds with hunting equipment in a landscape by Melchior d'Hondecoeter was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. The price achieved of USD 40,320.00 (€ 33,226.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Melchior d'Hondecoeter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A peacock, a peahen, a monkey and other birds on a terrace in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,203,426.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A brace of rabbits and small birds with hunting equipment in a landscape von Melchior d'Hondecoeter kam im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 40.320,00 (€ 33.226,21) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Melchior d'Hondecoeter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A peacock, a peahen, a monkey and other birds on a terrace im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.650.500,00 (€ 1.203.426,90).
