Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A bouquet of roses, poppies, forget-me-nots, irises and carnations in an earthenwear vase with prunes and a bird's nest on a ledge by Willem van Leen was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2017. Here, the upper estimate of EUR 18,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 18,750.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem van Leen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A fine still life of flowers in a stone vase sculpted with amorini on a stone ledge including a peony, anemonies, old roses, auriculae, chrysanthemums, daisies, larkspur and acanthus leaves, two goldfinches in a bird's nest, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 26,290.00 (€ 39,444.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A bouquet of roses, poppies, forget-me-nots, irises and carnations in an earthenwear vase with prunes and a bird's nest on a ledge von Willem van Leen kam im Juni 2017 bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von EUR 18.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für EUR 18.750,00 einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Willem van Leen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A fine still life of flowers in a stone vase sculpted with amorini on a stone ledge including a peony, anemonies, old roses, auriculae, chrysanthemums, daisies, larkspur and acanthus leaves, two goldfinches in a bird's nest beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 26.290,00 (€ 39.444,68) versteigert wurde.
