Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2011 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings (Evening Sale), which included the work Wijdschips tacking offshore in a stiff breeze by Jeronimus van Diest. The price achieved of GBP 56,450.00 (€ 67,606.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jeronimus van Diest - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Battle Of Scheveningen, With The Naval Forces Of The Dutch Republic And The Commonwealth Of England, 10 August 1653, which sold at auction in January 2017 for USD 150,000.00 (€ 138,966.09).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings (Evening Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Wijdschips tacking offshore in a stiff breeze von Jeronimus van Diest zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 56.450,00 (€ 67.606,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jeronimus van Diest mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Battle Of Scheveningen, With The Naval Forces Of The Dutch Republic And The Commonwealth Of England, 10 August 1653 beobachtet, die im Januar 2017 für USD 150.000,00 (€ 138.966,09) versteigert wurde.
