Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Abraham Pleading With Sarah On Behalf Of Hagar by Willem Bartsius was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 30,553.92) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem Bartsius achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Joueur De Luth in April 2014 with an auction result of EUR 505,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Abraham Pleading With Sarah On Behalf Of Hagar von Willem Bartsius kam im Dezember 2015 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 30.553,92) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Willem Bartsius erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Joueur De Luth im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 505.500,00.
