Jean Baptist van der Meiren (Antwerp 1664-c. 1708)
An elegant company of travellers by a harbour, with figures in the foreground, cattle and sheep beyond
signed 'JB.vander/Moiron:f' (lower left)
oil on copper
7 7/8 x 9½ in. (20 x 24.2 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work An elegant company of travellers by a harbour, with figures in the foreground, cattle and sheep beyond by Jan Baptist van der Meiren was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,802.52). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Baptist van der Meiren - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond, which sold at auction in April 2005 for GBP 26,400.00 (€ 39,075.84).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit An elegant company of travellers by a harbour, with figures in the foreground, cattle and sheep beyond von Jan Baptist van der Meiren kam im Juli 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 6.600,00 (€ 9.802,52) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Baptist van der Meiren mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond beobachtet, die im April 2005 für GBP 26.400,00 (€ 39.075,84) versteigert wurde.
