The work Queen Tomyris with the head of Cyrus by Michiel I Coxie was sold in the Old Master Paintings auction at Christies in New York in October 2006. It achieved a price of USD 78,000.00 (€ 61,066.31), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michiel I Coxie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Emperor Charlemagne And Elisabeth von Thuringen As Patron Saints of Two Donors, Probably Guillaume de Bourgoing And Philippa Le Clerc du Tremblay, which sold at auction in April 2006 for USD 168,000.00 (€ 133,079.85).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen
