Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
In July 2011 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Prints, which included the work The Standard-Bearer (Holl. 179) by Jacques de Gheyn II.. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,578.02), 72% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacques de Gheyn II. achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A large beech, partly in leaf in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 1,142,500.00 (€ 1,441,051.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Standard-Bearer (Holl. 179) von Jacques de Gheyn II. zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.578,02) und damit 72% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacques de Gheyn II. erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A large beech, partly in leaf im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.142.500,00 (€ 1.441.051,72).
