Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2007 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction 19th CenturyEuropean Art, which included the work On the Scheldt by Nicolaas Riegen. The price achieved of EUR 6,250.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nicolaas Riegen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A calm: fishermen inspecting their catch, which sold at auction in April 2003 for EUR 17,925.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2007 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion 19th CenturyEuropean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit On the Scheldt von Nicolaas Riegen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 6.250,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Nicolaas Riegen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A calm: fishermen inspecting their catch beobachtet, die im April 2003 für EUR 17.925,00 versteigert wurde.
