Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A barn interior with a woman and children peeling onions, earthenware pots, carrots, onions and a cabbage nearby by Bartholomeus Molenaer was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,552.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bartholomeus Molenaer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Classroom Interior, which sold at auction in May 2009 for EUR 11,250.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A barn interior with a woman and children peeling onions, earthenware pots, carrots, onions and a cabbage nearby von Bartholomeus Molenaer im April 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.400,00 (€ 3.552,35) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Bartholomeus Molenaer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Classroom Interior beobachtet, die im Mai 2009 für EUR 11.250,00 versteigert wurde.
