In October 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work Oriental merchants in an imaginary Mediterranean port by Jan Baptist van der Meiren. The »bidding war« ended at USD 19,200.00 (€ 15,031.71), 28% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Baptist van der Meiren - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond, which sold at auction in April 2005 for GBP 26,400.00 (€ 39,075.84).

Im Oktober 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Oriental merchants in an imaginary Mediterranean port von Jan Baptist van der Meiren zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 19.200,00 (€ 15.031,71) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Baptist van der Meiren mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A capriccio of a Mediterranean port scene with a four-master, a town and mountains beyond; and A Mediterranean coastal landscape with merchants and herdsmen with a capriccio of a port and a mountain beyond beobachtet, die im April 2005 für GBP 26.400,00 (€ 39.075,84) versteigert wurde.
