Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
The work A barber-surgeon examining a girl by Gerrit Dou was sold in the Old Masters auction at Christies in New York in October 2017. It achieved a price of USD 420,500.00 (€ 361,006.18), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerrit Dou achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Elderly Woman, Seated By A Window At Her Spinning Wheel, Eating Porridge in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 5,346,500.00 (€ 3,898,286.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
