Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Frans van Mieris the Elder could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2015 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master and British Drawings auction, the work The Unwelcome News changed hands for USD 173,000.00 (€ 153,232.95) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frans van Mieris the Elder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Music Lesson in July 2021 with an auction result of GBP 3,502,500.00 (€ 4,107,407.49).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Frans van Mieris the Elder konnte im Januar 2015 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master and British Drawings wechselte die Arbeit The Unwelcome News für USD 173.000,00 (€ 153.232,95) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frans van Mieris the Elder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Music Lesson im Juli 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.502.500,00 (€ 4.107.407,49).
