Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July this year Christies held the auction Old Masters Part II, which included the work Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black doublet, with white ruff and cuffs; portrait of a lady, half-length, in a black dress with flat white collar and jewelled brooch by Michiel van Mierevelt. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 20,160.00 (€ 23,520.61). 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 diesen Jahres führte Christies die Auktion Old Masters Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black doublet, with white ruff and cuffs; portrait of a lady, half-length, in a black dress with flat white collar and jewelled brooch von Michiel van Mierevelt zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 20.160,00 (€ 23.520,61) einen neuen Besitzer. 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 versteiger
