A top price for Frans van der Mijn - as previously expected
The work A lady in a landscape with a fly on her shoulder: an Allegory of Touch by Frans van der Mijn was sold in the Old Master & 19th Century Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours (Day Sale) auction at Christies in London in December 2010. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,999.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A lady in a landscape with a fly on her shoulder: an Allegory of Touch is the most expensive artwork by Frans van der Mijn that we have observed at auctions so far.
