Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Jacobus Biltius could be acquired at Christies in New York in January this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern Medici: Masterpieces from a New York Collection auction, the work A Trompe L’Oeil With Two Quails, A Kingfisher, A Bird Net And A Whistle changed hands for USD 27,720.00 (€ 25,529.56) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacobus Biltius - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Trompe L'Oeil Still Life With Two Quails, A Kingfisher, A Bird Net And A Whistle, which sold at auction in December 2010 for GBP 61,250.00 (€ 71,049.82).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jacobus Biltius konnte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern Medici: Masterpieces from a New York Collection wechselte die Arbeit A Trompe L’Oeil With Two Quails, A Kingfisher, A Bird Net And A Whistle für USD 27.720,00 (€ 25.529,56) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacobus Biltius mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Trompe L'Oeil Still Life With Two Quails, A Kingfisher, A Bird Net And A Whistle beobachtet, die im Dezember 2010 für GBP 61.250,00 (€ 71.049,82) versteigert wurde.
