Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2001 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work The Harrowing of Hell by Pieter Huys. It changed hands for a price of GBP 37,600.00 (€ 61,433.19) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pieter Huys - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Temptation Of St. Anthony, which sold at auction in June 2011 for USD 206,500.00 (€ 142,188.25).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Harrowing of Hell von Pieter Huys zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 37.600,00 (€ 61.433,19) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Pieter Huys mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Temptation Of St. Anthony beobachtet, die im Juni 2011 für USD 206.500,00 (€ 142.188,25) versteigert wurde.
