A top price for Roelandt Savery
When the work Orpheus Charming The Animals by Roelandt Savery was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 452,750.00 (€ 529,338.21). This high result makes Orpheus Charming The Animals the most expensive artwork by Roelandt Savery that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Roelandt Savery
Als die Arbeit Orpheus Charming The Animals von Roelandt Savery im Dezember 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 452.750,00 (€ 529.338,21) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Orpheus Charming The Animals zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Roelandt Savery, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
