Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2010 Sothebys in Amsterdam held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work An Allegory Of The Five Senses by Simon de Vos. The price achieved of EUR 15,000.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Simon de Vos achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Convival Card Game in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 288,000.00 (€ 221,572.55).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2010 führte Sothebys in Amsterdam die Auktion Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Allegory Of The Five Senses von Simon de Vos zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 15.000,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Simon de Vos erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Convival Card Game im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 288.000,00 (€ 221.572,55).
