Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In May 2009 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Old Master and 19th Century Art, which included the work A tethered bull covering a cow in a farmyard by Paulus Potter. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 18,750.00 56% above the upper estimate. 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).

Im Mai 2009 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A tethered bull covering a cow in a farmyard von Paulus Potter zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 18.750,00 und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
