Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2019 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Paintings and Sculpture, which included the work Flowers in a basket on a ledge, with a bird's nest and bird, Rotterdam beyond; and Grapes and a pineapple in a basket on a marble ledge, a landscape beyond by Willem van Leen. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,773.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem van Leen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A fine still life of flowers in a stone vase sculpted with amorini on a stone ledge including a peony, anemonies, old roses, auriculae, chrysanthemums, daisies, larkspur and acanthus leaves, two goldfinches in a bird's nest, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 26,290.00 (€ 39,444.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Paintings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flowers in a basket on a ledge, with a bird's nest and bird, Rotterdam beyond; and Grapes and a pineapple in a basket on a marble ledge, a landscape beyond von Willem van Leen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.773,54) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Willem van Leen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A fine still life of flowers in a stone vase sculpted with amorini on a stone ledge including a peony, anemonies, old roses, auriculae, chrysanthemums, daisies, larkspur and acanthus leaves, two goldfinches in a bird's nest beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 26.290,00 (€
