Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Two studies of female head (recto); Studies of hands (verso) by Abraham Bloemaert was auctioned at Christies in October 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 106,250.00 (€ 91,975.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abraham Bloemaert - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Mythological Scene, Perhaps Venus And Cupid, which sold at auction in January 2013 for USD 434,500.00 (€ 319,861.60).

Die Arbeit Two studies of female head (recto); Studies of hands (verso) von Abraham Bloemaert kam im Oktober 2021 bei Christies zur Auktion.
