Reading the letter

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Gérard Portielje achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in October 2000. In the BELGIAN ART 1850-1950 auction, the work Reading the letter sold for NLG 91,275.60 (€ 43,809.28) - well above the upper estimate of NLG 35,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Gérard Portielje; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The flirtation sold at auction in October 2000 with the realized price of NLG 111,169.00 (€ 53,357.45).
