Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait of a young lady with a spaniel, possibly Dina Margareta de Bye (1680-1740), a landscape beyond by Willem van Mieris was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 212,500.00 (€ 190,497.53). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem van Mieris - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A trumpeter at a casement window with another figure holding an upturned wine glass, which sold at auction in December last year for GBP 390,900.00 (€ 441,288.03).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a young lady with a spaniel, possibly Dina Margareta de Bye (1680-1740), a landscape beyond von Willem van Mieris im Oktober 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 212.500,00 (€ 190.497,53) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Willem van Mieris mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A trumpeter at a casement window with another figure holding an upturned wine glass beobachtet, die im Dezember letzten Jahres für GBP 390.900,00 (€ 441.288,03) versteigert wurde.
