Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of The Blessed Thomas Percy, 7Th Earl Of Northumberland (1528-1570) by Steven van der Meulen was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2007. The price achieved of GBP 30,500.00 (€ 42,707.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Steven van der Meulen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 2,596,500.00 (€ 3,635,771.75).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of The Blessed Thomas Percy, 7Th Earl Of Northumberland (1528-1570) von Steven van der Meulen kam im November 2007 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 30.500,00 (€ 42.707,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Steven van der Meulen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.596.500,00 (€ 3.635.771,75).
