16 7/8 x 12¾ in. (43 x 32.5 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The courtyard of a cottage with a peasant by a fire, vegetables, a pot and a barrel in the foreground by Willem Kalf was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2001. The price achieved of GBP 16,450.00 (€ 26,177.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem Kalf achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Chafing Dish, Two Pilgrims' Canteens, A Silver-Gilt Ewer, A Plate And Other Tableware On A Partially Draped Table in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 2,775,000.00 (€ 2,489,012.47).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The courtyard of a cottage with a peasant by a fire, vegetables, a pot and a barrel in the foreground von Willem Kalf kam im November 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 16.450,00 (€ 26.177,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Willem Kalf erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Chafing Dish, Two Pilgrims' Canteens, A Silver-Gilt Ewer, A Plate And Other Tableware On A Partially Draped Table im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.775.000,00 (€ 2.489.012,47).
