Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Rembrandt van Rijn achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in May this year. In the Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner auction, the work Christ and Woman of Samaria Among the Ruins sold for USD 3,187.50 (€ 2,991.83) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,200.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Rembrandt van Rijn erzielte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner wurde die Arbeit Christ and Woman of Samaria Among the Ruins für USD 3.187,50 (€ 2.991,83) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.200,00. 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).
