Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figure studies ( recto and verso ) by Peter Paul Rubens was sold in the Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 86,500.00 (€ 122,627.95) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Paul Rubens achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lot and his Daughters in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 44,882,500.00 (€ 53,330,119.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Figure studies ( recto and verso ) von Peter Paul Rubens wurde im Juli 2015 in der Auktion Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 86.500,00 (€ 122.627,95) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Paul Rubens erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lot and his Daughters im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.882.500,00 (€ 53.330.119,54).
