Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings, which included the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Three-Quarter Length, Standing, Wearing A Black Tunic And White Ruff by Michiel van Mierevelt. It changed hands for a price of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 21,804.23) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. 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.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings 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. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 21.804,23) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. 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.
