Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work The Story Of The Prodigal Son: The Departure Of The Prodigal Son; The Prodigal Son'S Feast; The Prodigal Son With The Swine; The Return Of The Prodigal Son by Sebastian Vrancx. The price achieved of GBP 442,000.00 (€ 492,427.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Admittedly, works by Sebastian Vrancx have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Four Seasons in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 1,650,500.00 (€ 2,339,854.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Story Of The Prodigal Son: The Departure Of The Prodigal Son; The Prodigal Son'S Feast; The Prodigal Son With The Swine; The Return Of The Prodigal Son von Sebastian Vrancx zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 442.000,00 (€ 492.427,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sebastian Vrancx auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Four Seasons im Juli 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.650.500,00 (€ 2.339.854,64).
