Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Cattle And A Sheep In A Landscape With A Blasted Tree by Paulus Potter was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2016. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 87,500.00 (€ 102,301.70). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paulus Potter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landscape with cattle and a woman cleaning a bucket by a stream in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 1,582,500.00 (€ 1,767,793.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Cattle And A Sheep In A Landscape With A Blasted Tree von Paulus Potter kam im Dezember 2016 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 80.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 87.500,00 (€ 102.301,70) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paulus Potter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landscape with cattle and a woman cleaning a bucket by a stream im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.582.500,00 (€ 1.767.793,54).
