Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Lamentation, after Taddeo Zuccaro by Cornelis Cort was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 900.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 705.00 (€ 1,151.87) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cornelis Cort - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Der heilige Hieronymus, von drei Engeln gestützt., which sold at auction in April 2013 for EUR 2,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Lamentation, after Taddeo Zuccaro von Cornelis Cort kam im Dezember 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 900,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 705,00 (€ 1.151,87) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Cornelis Cort mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Der heilige Hieronymus, von drei Engeln gestützt. beobachtet, die im April 2013 für EUR 2.750,00 versteigert wurde.
