A top price for Sebastian Vrancx - as previously expected
The work The Four Seasons by Sebastian Vrancx was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in July 2015. The price achieved of GBP 1,650,500.00 (€ 2,339,854.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,400,000.00 – 2,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Four Seasons is the most expensive artwork by Sebastian Vrancx that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The Four Seasons von Sebastian Vrancx wurde im Juli 2015 in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.650.500,00 (€ 2.339.854,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.400.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Four Seasons das teuerste Kunstwerk von Sebastian Vrancx, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
