Peter Tillemans (Antwerp 1684-1734 Suffolk)
Portrait of a nobleman on horseback, a palace and gardens beyond
oil on canvas
23 x 22¼in. (58 x 56.5cm.)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait of a nobleman on horseback, a palace and gardens beyond by Peter Tillemans was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 56,400.00 (€ 60,463.12). Admittedly, works by Peter Tillemans have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A panoramic view of Chatsworth House and Park, with mares and foals in the foreground in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 265,250.00 (€ 337,857.21).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait of a nobleman on horseback, a palace and gardens beyond von Peter Tillemans im Mai 2000 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 56.400,00 (€ 60.463,12) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Peter Tillemans auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A panoramic view of Chatsworth House and Park, with mares and foals in the foreground im Juli 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 265.250,00 (€ 337.857,21).
