Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Sheldrake ducks and ducklings with a magpie in a garden, a village beyond by Melchior d'Hondecoeter was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2019. Here, the upper estimate of USD 100,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 106,250.00 (€ 95,248.77). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Melchior d'Hondecoeter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A peacock, a peahen, a monkey and other birds on a terrace in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,203,426.90).

Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 100.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 106.250,00 (€ 95.248,77) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Melchior d'Hondecoeter erzielen.
