Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work The departure of Charles II for England by Willem Schellinks was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 85,000.00 (€ 58,750.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem Schellinks - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Winter Landscape With The Tiber And The Ponte Molle, Rome, which sold at auction in January 2009 for USD 266,500.00 (€ 208,138.08).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The departure of Charles II for England von Willem Schellinks im Oktober 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 85.000,00 (€ 58.750,35) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Willem Schellinks mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Winter Landscape With The Tiber And The Ponte Molle, Rome beobachtet, die im Januar 2009 für USD 266.500,00 (€ 208.138,08) versteigert wurde.
