Paulus Potter (Enkhuizen 1625-1654 Amsterdam)
Herdsmen and their animals sheltering from a storm
with signature 'Paulus. Potter. f.' (in brown ink)
black chalk, heightened with white, on brown-grey paper, brown ink framing lines
7 3/8 x 9 ½ in. (18.7 x 24.1 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 96 %.

This artwork by Paulus Potter achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2014. In the The I.Q. van Regteren Altena Collection. Part I auction, the work Herdsmen and their animals sheltering from a storm sold for GBP 68,500.00 (€ 86,400.04) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00. 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 um 96 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Paulus Potter erzielte im Juli 2014 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The I.Q. van Regteren Altena Collection. Part I wurde die Arbeit Herdsmen and their animals sheltering from a storm für GBP 68.500,00 (€ 86.400,04) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 35.000,00. 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).
