Sold at the upper estimate price

In July 2017 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work Ships at sea by Willem van de Velde II. The auction ended at the price of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,579.23), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem van de Velde II achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dutch men-o'-war and other shipping in a calm in December 2011 with an auction result of GBP 5,921,250.00 (€ 7,091,533.28).

Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis

Im Juli 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ships at sea von Willem van de Velde II zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.579,23) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Willem van de Velde II erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dutch men-o'-war and other shipping in a calm im Dezember 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.921.250,00 (€ 7.091.533,28).
