Adriaen van der Werff

A Self-Portrait As A Merry Toper

Found at Christies, Amsterdam
OLD MASTER PICTURES AND DRAWINGS, Lot 23
16. NOV - 16. NOV 2005
Estimate: 10.000 - 15.000 EUR
Price realised: 30.000 EUR
Adriaen van der Werff (Kralinger-Ambacht 1659-1722 Rotterdam)
A self-portrait as a Merry Toper
oil on panel
16.7 x 13.1 cm.

Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.

This artwork by Adriaen van der Werff achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2005. In the OLD MASTER PICTURES AND DRAWINGS auction, the work A Self-Portrait As A Merry Toper sold for EUR 30,000.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Adriaen van der Werff achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Holy Family With The Infant Saint John The Baptist in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 458,500.00 (€ 350,561.97).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Adriaen van der Werff erzielte im November 2005 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion OLD MASTER PICTURES AND DRAWINGS wurde die Arbeit A Self-Portrait As A Merry Toper für EUR 30.000,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Adriaen van der Werff erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Holy Family With The Infant Saint John The Baptist im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 458.500,00 (€ 350.561,97).
