Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2013 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work View of Rome with the Ponte Sant' Angelo crossing the Tiber, the Basilica of Saint Peter's in the distance and the Castel Sant' Angelo on the right by Lieven Cruyl. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 21,250.00 (€ 24,281.83) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lieven Cruyl - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View Of The Construction Of The Pont Neuf Du Louvre, Paris, In June 1686, which sold at auction in July 2012 for GBP 67,250.00 (€ 85,658.42).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit View of Rome with the Ponte Sant' Angelo crossing the Tiber, the Basilica of Saint Peter's in the distance and the Castel Sant' Angelo on the right von Lieven Cruyl zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 24.281,83) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Lieven Cruyl mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View Of The Construction Of The Pont Neuf Du Louvre, Paris, In June 1686 beobachtet, die im Juli 2012 für GBP 67.250,00 (€ 85.658,42) versteigert wurde.
