Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2009 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Old Master and 19th Century Art, which included the work A fortified town by a river with figures in boats by Wouter Knijff. The price achieved of EUR 8,125.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wouter Knijff - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fishermen in rowing boats near the Kleine Houtpoort, Haarlem; and A river landscape with a romanesque church and a walled town, which sold at auction in November 2011 for EUR 27,400.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2009 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A fortified town by a river with figures in boats von Wouter Knijff zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 8.125,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wouter Knijff mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fishermen in rowing boats near the Kleine Houtpoort, Haarlem; and A river landscape with a romanesque church and a walled town beobachtet, die im November 2011 für EUR 27.400,00 versteigert wurde.
