Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work The Lute Player by Hendrik Gerritsz. Pot was sold in the Old Master Pictures auction at Christies in London in October 2003. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 12,925.00 (€ 18,878.14). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hendrik Gerritsz. Pot achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portraits Of Jacob Van De Merckt And His Wife Petronella Witsen in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 362,500.00 (€ 277,161.86).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit The Lute Player von Hendrik Gerritsz. Pot wurde im Oktober 2003 in der Auktion Old Master Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 12.925,00 (€ 18.878,14) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hendrik Gerritsz. Pot erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portraits Of Jacob Van De Merckt And His Wife Petronella Witsen im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 362.500,00 (€ 277.161,86).
