Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Judith Leyster achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2016. In the Master Paintings & Sculpture Day Sale auction, the work Boy Peering Into An Earthenware Tankard sold for USD 162,500.00 (€ 150,018.46) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Judith Leyster achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Merry Company in December 2018 with an auction result of GBP 1,808,750.00 (€ 2,015,107.91).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Judith Leyster erzielte im Januar 2016 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Master Paintings & Sculpture Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Boy Peering Into An Earthenware Tankard für USD 162.500,00 (€ 150.018,46) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Judith Leyster erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Merry Company im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.808.750,00 (€ 2.015.107,91).
