Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Portrait Of A Lady, Aged 78, Three-Quarter Length, Seated, With Ruff And Bonnet by Michiel van Mierevelt was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2017. The result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 27,793.22) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. 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.
