Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.

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

Die Arbeit Queen Tomyris with the head of Cyrus von Michiel I Coxie wurde im Oktober 2006 in der Auktion Old Master Paintings bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 78.000,00 (€ 61.066,31) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 30%. Für andere Arbeiten von Michiel I Coxie mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Emperor Charlemagne And Elisabeth von Thuringen As Patron Saints of Two Donors, Probably Guillaume de Bourgoing And Philippa Le Clerc du Tremblay beobachtet, die im April 2006 für USD 168.000,00 (€ 133.079,85) versteigert wurde.
