Sold at the lower estimate price
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 & Sculpture Day Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2017. The result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 27,793.22) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem Key achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Saint Jerome in May 2005 with an auction result of USD 385,600.00 (€ 312,252.00).

Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 27.793,22) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Willem Key erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Saint Jerome im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 385.600,00 (€ 312.252,00).
