Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work A Rhenish river landscape, with peasants dancing before an inn, a village with a church and shipping beyond by Robert Griffier for GBP 5,875.00 (€ 9,598.94). This price was achieved in the auction OLD MASTER PICTURES at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Griffier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Summer: An Extensive Rhenish Landscape With Boats At A Quayside And Peasants By An Inn; And Winter: A Frozen Winter Landscape With Peasants in July 2006 with an auction result of GBP 232,000.00 (€ 339,620.81).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Dezember 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Rhenish river landscape, with peasants dancing before an inn, a village with a church and shipping beyond von Robert Griffier für GBP 5.875,00 (€ 9.598,94) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion OLD MASTER PICTURES bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Griffier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Summer: An Extensive Rhenish Landscape With Boats At A Quayside And Peasants By An Inn; And Winter: A Frozen Winter Landscape With Peasants im Juli 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 232.000,00 (€ 339.620,81).
