In March 2007 Christies in London held the auction Old Master, 19th Century, Modern and Contemporary Prints, which included the work St. Jerome in a Landscape by Nicolaes de Bruyn. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 936.00 (€ 1,377.69), 34% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nicolaes de Bruyn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ländliches Fest, which sold at auction in October 2010 for EUR 3,904.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
Im März 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master, 19th Century, Modern and Contemporary Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit St. Jerome in a Landscape von Nicolaes de Bruyn zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 936,00 (€ 1.377,69) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Nicolaes de Bruyn mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ländliches Fest beobachtet, die im Oktober 2010 für EUR 3.904,00 versteigert wurde.
