A top price for Jacob Binck
When the work Bathsheba at the Bath by Jacob Binck was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,271.53). This high result makes Bathsheba at the Bath the most expensive artwork by Jacob Binck that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Jacob Binck
Als die Arbeit Bathsheba at the Bath von Jacob Binck im Januar 2021 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 25.000,00 (€ 28.271,53) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Bathsheba at the Bath zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jacob Binck, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
