Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Astrologer by Ferdinand Bol was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2017. The price achieved of GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,783.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ferdinand Bol achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Boy, Said To Be The Artist'S Son, Aged 8 in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 5,189,000.00 (€ 7,356,259.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Astrologer von Ferdinand Bol kam im März 2017 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.783,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ferdinand Bol erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Boy, Said To Be The Artist'S Son, Aged 8 im Juli 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.189.000,00 (€ 7.356.259,16).
