Auction result misses estimated price range
In June 2015 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of a young man in armor (Cosimo III de' Medici?) by Gerard ter Borch II for USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,826.97). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Paintings at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerard ter Borch II achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Jan Craeyvanger (bapt. 7 September 1641-'died young'), three-quarter-length, in a grey costume with a white collar and a grey mantle, standing with a black hat in his right hand, in a painted oval; Portrait of Willem Craeyvanger (bapt. 31 in May 2009 with an auction result of EUR 745,000.00.
