The work Portrait of a lady, half-length, in a pastoral dress with a feathered hat; and Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a fur-trimmed black coat and feathered hat by Melchior Brassauw was sold in the Old Master and 19th Century Art auction at Christies in Amsterdam in October 2009. The result of EUR 2,500.00 was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of EUR 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Melchior Brassauw - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Allegory of Touch; and An Allegory of Taste, which sold at auction in June 2015 for EUR 9,375.00.
