Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Landschap aan de Wippervaart te Heemstede: an extensive polder landscape in summer by Willem Vester was sold in the PICTURES, WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS auction at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2004. It achieved a price of EUR 8,365.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20 %. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem Vester - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Heemstede bij Haarlem: peasants at the outskirts of a village in the dunes, which sold at auction in April 2005 for EUR 16,800.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
