Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Tulips, roses, peonies, narcissus, and other flowers with a butterfly in an urn, with grapes on the vine and a bird's nest with eggs and ants on a marble ledge by Pieter Faes was sold in the OLD MASTER PICTURES auction at Christies in London in October 2002. The price achieved of GBP 16,450.00 (€ 26,021.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Pieter Faes have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Still Life of roses, peonies, tulips, narcissus, and other flowers in a terracotta vase, with grapes and a peach in May last year with an auction result of USD 163,800.00 (€ 152,641.88).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Tulips, roses, peonies, narcissus, and other flowers with a butterfly in an urn, with grapes on the vine and a bird's nest with eggs and ants on a marble ledge von Pieter Faes wurde im Oktober 2002 in der Auktion OLD MASTER PICTURES bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 16.450,00 (€ 26.021,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Pieter Faes auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Still Life of roses, peonies, tulips, narcissus, and other flowers in a terracotta vase, with grapes and a peach im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 163.800,00 (€ 152.641,88).
