A top price for Pieter Francis Peters - as previously expected
In November 2016 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Old Masters & 19th Century Art - including Dutch Impressionism, which included the work A view of Istanbul with the Bosporus at sunset by Pieter Francis Peters. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of EUR 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of EUR 27,500.00 could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A view of Istanbul with the Bosporus at sunset is the most expensive artwork by Pieter Francis Peters that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2016 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Old Masters & 19th Century Art - including Dutch Impressionism durch, in der auch die Arbeit A view of Istanbul with the Bosporus at sunset von Pieter Francis Peters zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von EUR 27.500,00 konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A view of Istanbul with the Bosporus at sunset das teuerste Kunstwerk von Pieter Francis Peters, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
