Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Peasants playing cards in an interior by Hubert van Ravesteyn was sold in the Old Masters Pictures auction at Christies in London in September 2003. The price achieved of GBP 1,175.00 (€ 1,183.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hubert van Ravesteyn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Wan-Li Bowl With Walnuts, A Façon De Venise Wine Glass, An Ivory-Handled Knife, A Delft Stoneware Jug And A Rose On A Partially Draped Marble Ledge in January 2013 with an auction result of USD 482,500.00 (€ 355,197.29).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Peasants playing cards in an interior von Hubert van Ravesteyn wurde im September 2003 in der Auktion Old Masters Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.175,00 (€ 1.183,55) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hubert van Ravesteyn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Wan-Li Bowl With Walnuts, A Façon De Venise Wine Glass, An Ivory-Handled Knife, A Delft Stoneware Jug And A Rose On A Partially Draped Marble Ledge im Januar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 482.500,00 (€ 355.197,29).
