Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work A Young Woman Carrying A Tea Tray, Possibly Hannah, The Artist'S Maid by Philippe Mercier. The price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 70,334.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Philippe Mercier - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Allegories Of The Five Senses: Hearing, Smell, Sight, Taste And Touch, which sold at auction in January 2010 for USD 386,500.00 (€ 278,658.98).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Young Woman Carrying A Tea Tray, Possibly Hannah, The Artist'S Maid von Philippe Mercier zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 70.334,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Philippe Mercier mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Allegories Of The Five Senses: Hearing, Smell, Sight, Taste And Touch beobachtet, die im Januar 2010 für USD 386.500,00 (€ 278.658,98) versteigert wurde.
