Auction result misses estimated price range

In November 2007 a collector was able to acquire the work An Allegory of Vanitas: The desecration of a tomb by Willem de Poorter for EUR 14,650.00. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Paintings from the Collection of Jacques Goudstikker at Christies in Amsterdam and was even below the estimate range of EUR 15,000.00 – 20,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem de Poorter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery in January 2020 with an auction result of USD 920,000.00 (€ 829,351.84).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im November 2007 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit An Allegory of Vanitas: The desecration of a tomb von Willem de Poorter für EUR 14.650,00 erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master Paintings from the Collection of Jacques Goudstikker bei Christies in Amsterdam erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von EUR 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Willem de Poorter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 920.000,00 (€ 829.351,84).
