Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Russian Paintings, which included the work Portrait Of The Wife Of Willem Heda by Sergei Essaian. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,113.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sergei Essaian - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Pope'S Dinner, which sold at auction in February 2007 for GBP 24,000.00 (€ 35,579.14).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Russian Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of The Wife Of Willem Heda von Sergei Essaian zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.113,44) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Sergei Essaian mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Pope'S Dinner beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für GBP 24.000,00 (€ 35.579,14) versteigert wurde.
