Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Self-Portrait In A Cap: Laughing by Rembrandt van Rijn was sold in the Old Master Prints auction at Christies in London in December 2017. The price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,143.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rembrandt van Rijn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a lady, aged 62, perhaps Aeltje Pietersdr. Uylenburgh, wife of Johannes Cornelisz. Sylvius, half-length, in black costume and a cap and collar in December 2000 with an auction result of GBP 19,803,750.00 (€ 31,547,196.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Self-Portrait In A Cap: Laughing von Rembrandt van Rijn wurde im Dezember 2017 in der Auktion Old Master Prints bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.143,50) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rembrandt van Rijn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, aged 62, perhaps Aeltje Pietersdr. Uylenburgh, wife of Johannes Cornelisz. Sylvius, half-length, in black costume and a cap and collar im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.803.750,00 (€ 31.547.196,55).
