Auction result misses estimated price range

In July last year a collector was able to acquire the work The surrender of the Royal Prince during The Four Days' Battle, 11–14 June 1666 by Willem van de Velde II for GBP 3,907,000.00 (€ 4,665,651.93). This price was achieved in the auction Old Masters Evening Auction at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 4,000,000.00 – 6,000,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by Willem van de Velde II have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in December 2011 by the work Dutch men-o'-war and other shipping in a calm at GBP 5,921,250.00 (€ 7,091,533.28).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Juli letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The surrender of the Royal Prince during The Four Days' Battle, 11–14 June 1666 von Willem van de Velde II für GBP 3.907.000,00 (€ 4.665.651,93) erwerben.
