Artwork auctioned at 21 times the upper estimate price
When the work Beggar Seated on a Bank by Rembrandt van Rijn was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Boston in January 2024, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 21 times as high at USD 15,360.00 (€ 13,424.23). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rembrandt van Rijn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a lady, aged 62, perhaps Aeltje Pietersdr. Uylenburgh, wife of Johannes Cornelisz. Sylvius, half-length, in black costume and a cap and collar in December 2000 with an auction result of GBP 19,803,750.00 (€ 31,547,196.55).
Kunstwerk zum 21-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Beggar Seated on a Bank von Rembrandt van Rijn im Januar 2024 bei Bonhams in Skinner Boston versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 15.360,00 (€ 13.424,23) mehr als 21-mal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rembrandt van Rijn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, aged 62, perhaps Aeltje Pietersdr. Uylenburgh, wife of Johannes Cornelisz. Sylvius, half-length, in black costume and a cap and collar im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.803.750,00 (€ 31.547.196,55).
