This artwork by Hendrik Meijer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2011. In the Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours auction, the work A fishing vessel in a harbour, a church beyond sold for GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,095.87) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 700.00. Admittedly, works by Hendrik Meijer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A wooded river landscape with peasants resting by a cottage in October 2004 with an auction result of GBP 11,352.50 (€ 16,339.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hendrik Meijer erzielte im Dezember 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours wurde die Arbeit A fishing vessel in a harbour, a church beyond für GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.095,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 700,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hendrik Meijer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A wooded river landscape with peasants resting by a cottage im Oktober 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.352,50 (€ 16.339,37).
