Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Gerard ter Borch II achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2009. In the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction, the work A little girl at a table holding a slice of melon sold for USD 62,500.00 (€ 48,812.87) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. 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.
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gerard ter Borch II erzielte im Januar 2009 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings wurde die Arbeit A little girl at a table holding a slice of melon für USD 62.500,00 (€ 48.812,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerard ter Borch II erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 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 im Mai 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 745.000,00.
