Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2002 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist Pictures, which included the work Moutons dans la bergerie by Théo van Sluys. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,760.00 (€ 5,887.97). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Théo van Sluys - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sheep and Chickens in a Farm Interior, which sold at auction in April 2005 for USD 18,000.00 (€ 13,932.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Moutons dans la bergerie von Théo van Sluys zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 3.760,00 (€ 5.887,97) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Théo van Sluys mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sheep and Chickens in a Farm Interior beobachtet, die im April 2005 für USD 18.000,00 (€ 13.932,97) versteigert wurde.
