Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of A Bearded Gentleman, Half Length, In A Black Doublet, Holding The Book Of Psalms; Portrait Of A Lady, Half Length In A Black Gown, Holding The Book Of Psalms by Willem Key was sold in the Master Paintings auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 75,000.00 (€ 67,355.19) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Willem Key have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Saint Jerome in May 2005 with an auction result of USD 385,600.00 (€ 312,252.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait Of A Bearded Gentleman, Half Length, In A Black Doublet, Holding The Book Of Psalms; Portrait Of A Lady, Half Length In A Black Gown, Holding The Book Of Psalms von Willem Key wurde im Mai 2016 in der Auktion Master Paintings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 67.355,19) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Willem Key auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Saint Jerome im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 385.600,00 (€ 312.252,00).
