Auction result well in line with expectations
The work River Landscape With Two Fishermen In A Boat Below The Town Ramparts, Ships Beyond by Wouter Knijff was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,524.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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
Die Arbeit River Landscape With Two Fishermen In A Boat Below The Town Ramparts, Ships Beyond von Wouter Knijff kam im Dezember 2013 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.524,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
