Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Hendrick Meyer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2004. In the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction, the work A thatched mill by a stream with a shepherd and his flock, a Dutch town in the background; and A thatched house under snow by a frozen lake, a church in the background sold for USD 65,725.00 (€ 52,782.69) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hendrick Meyer; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Sunrise over a river valley with fishermen, travellers and herdsmen in the foreground; and Sunset over a pastoral landscape with herdsmen returning home and travellers resting sold at auction in July 2011 with the realized price of GBP 57,650.00 (€ 66,162.00).
