Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master and British Paintings Day Sale, which included the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Three-Quarter Length, Standing, Wearing A Black Tunic And White Ruff by Michiel van Mierevelt. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 24,387.55), 18% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michiel van Mierevelt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Jan van der Haer (1609-1665), half-length, in a black silk doublet with cutwork, edged with black lace; and Portrait of Levina Ockers (1607-1678), half-length, in a black dress with a double layered lace-trimmed ruff and jewelled collar, which sold at auction in May 2014 for EUR 79,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master and British Paintings Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Three-Quarter Length, Standing, Wearing A Black Tunic And White Ruff von Michiel van Mierevelt zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 24.387,55) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Michiel van Mierevelt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Jan van der Haer (1609-1665), half-length, in a black silk doublet with cutwork, edged with black lace; and Portrait of Levina Ockers (1607-1678), half-length, in a black dress with a double layered lace-trimmed ruff and jewelled collar beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für EUR 79.500,00 versteigert wurde.
