Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2001 Christies in New York held the auction Important Old Master Paintings, which included the work A town square with actors from the Commedia dell'Arte performing for villagers on market day by Pieter Bout. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 32,900.00 (€ 35,345.94) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pieter Bout - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Winter Landscape With Figures Strolling And Unloading A Cart Outside The Walls of A Town, Skating And Sleighing On A Frozen River Nearby, which sold at auction in November 2005 for EUR 84,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2001 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A town square with actors from the Commedia dell'Arte performing for villagers on market day von Pieter Bout zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 32.900,00 (€ 35.345,94) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Pieter Bout mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Winter Landscape With Figures Strolling And Unloading A Cart Outside The Walls of A Town, Skating And Sleighing On A Frozen River Nearby beobachtet, die im November 2005 für EUR 84.000,00 versteigert wurde.
