Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of Hendrick Goltzius by Jacob Matham was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,413.58). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacob Matham achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jupiter and Danaë in January 2001 with an auction result of USD 29,375.00 (€ 31,558.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Hendrick Goltzius von Jacob Matham im Januar 2021 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.413,58) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacob Matham erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jupiter and Danaë im Januar 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 29.375,00 (€ 31.558,87).
