Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work A man seated at a table pointing to a letter by Pieter Verelst was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at EUR 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pieter Verelst achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The head of a young boy in December 2000 with an auction result of GBP 212,750.00 (€ 338,908.85).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A man seated at a table pointing to a letter von Pieter Verelst im Mai 2007 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 18.000,00 mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pieter Verelst erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The head of a young boy im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 212.750,00 (€ 338.908,85).
