Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The young violinist by Jan Miense Molenaer was sold in the Old Masters: Property from a Private Collection auction at Christies in New York in October 2019. The price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 56,028.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Miense Molenaer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Duet: A Self Portrait Of The Artist With His Wife, Judith Leyster, Probably Their Marriage Portrait in January 2014 with an auction result of USD 2,405,000.00 (€ 1,781,481.48).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The young violinist von Jan Miense Molenaer wurde im Oktober 2019 in der Auktion Old Masters: Property from a Private Collection bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 56.028,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Miense Molenaer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Duet: A Self Portrait Of The Artist With His Wife, Judith Leyster, Probably Their Marriage Portrait im Januar 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.405.000,00 (€ 1.781.481,48).
