Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Jan Steen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2015. In the Old Masters & 19th CenturyArt - (including Dutch Impressionism) auction, the work The Banquet Of Cleopatra sold for EUR 253,500.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Steen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Prayer Before The Meal in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,641,250.00 (€ 6,957,227.93).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Steen erzielte im November 2015 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters & 19th CenturyArt - (including Dutch Impressionism) wurde die Arbeit The Banquet Of Cleopatra für EUR 253.500,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 120.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Steen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Prayer Before The Meal im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.641.250,00 (€ 6.957.227,93).
