Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Night School, After Gerard Dou by Willem Joseph Laquy was sold in the Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,837.44) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem Joseph Laquy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Allegory of Painting; and An Allegory of Sculpture, which sold at auction in April 2010 for EUR 8,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Night School, After Gerard Dou von Willem Joseph Laquy wurde im Januar 2019 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.837,44) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Willem Joseph Laquy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An Allegory of Painting; and An Allegory of Sculpture beobachtet, die im April 2010 für EUR 8.750,00 versteigert wurde.
