In July 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work Still Life Of Game With A Hare, Snipe And Other Small Birds, A Park Landscape Beyond by Jan Weenix. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 75,000.00 (€ 83,688.48), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Weenix - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A sunflower, roses, parrot tulips, a carnation and other flowers in a glass vase on a partly draped marble table, which sold at auction in July 2000 for GBP 135,750.00 (€ 219,505.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Still Life Of Game With A Hare, Snipe And Other Small Birds, A Park Landscape Beyond von Jan Weenix zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 83.688,48) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Weenix mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A sunflower, roses, parrot tulips, a carnation and other flowers in a glass vase on a partly draped marble table beobachtet, die im Juli 2000 für GBP 135.750,00 (€ 219.505,96) versteigert wurde.
