Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Pieter de Hooch achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in June 2009. In the Old Master Paintings, European Sculpture & Antiquities auction, the work A Woman Handing A Coin To A Serving Woman With A Child sold for USD 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,177,246.79) - well above the upper estimate of USD 600,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pieter de Hooch - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Interior With A Child Feeding A Parrot, which sold at auction in January 2012 for USD 3,666,500.00 (€ 2,808,932.81).
