Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Nicolaes Maes could be acquired at Christies in October 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master Paintings and Sculpture auction, the work Portrait of a man, three-quarter-length, leaning on a broken column, traditionally identified as Count Borchgrave changed hands for USD 6,250.00 (€ 5,410.32) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicolaes Maes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Group portrait of a family in an Italianate garden with an ornate fountain in December 2005 with an auction result of GBP 792,000.00 (€ 1,149,543.66).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Nicolaes Maes konnte im Oktober 2021 bei Christies für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master Paintings and Sculpture wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of a man, three-quarter-length, leaning on a broken column, traditionally identified as Count Borchgrave für USD 6.250,00 (€ 5.410,32) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicolaes Maes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Group portrait of a family in an Italianate garden with an ornate fountain im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 792.000,00 (€ 1.149.543,66).
