This artwork by Herman van der Mijn achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in June 2020. In the Old Master Paintings and Sculpture auction, the work Venus and Ceres sold for USD 43,750.00 (€ 38,954.68) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Herman van der Mijn; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Tamar sold at auction in January 2009 with the realized price of USD 86,500.00 (€ 67,557.01).
