Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Masters Online, which included the work The Wide And Narrow Road, An Allegory by Jan Christiaensz. Micker. It changed hands for a price of USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,802.72) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Christiaensz. Micker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Tower Of Babel in December 2011 with an auction result of GBP 82,850.00 (€ 99,224.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Masters Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Wide And Narrow Road, An Allegory von Jan Christiaensz. Micker zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.802,72) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Christiaensz. Micker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Tower Of Babel im Dezember 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 82.850,00 (€ 99.224,58).
