Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2012 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale, which included the work The Paternity Discussion by Michiel van Musscher. The price achieved of GBP 49,250.00 (€ 60,738.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Admittedly, works by Michiel van Musscher have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An Interior With A Young Girl, Seated At A Table Covered With An Indian Carpet And Reading A Letter, Attended By A Negro Page in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 456,000.00 (€ 350,823.20).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Paternity Discussion von Michiel van Musscher zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 49.250,00 (€ 60.738,93) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Michiel van Musscher auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An Interior With A Young Girl, Seated At A Table Covered With An Indian Carpet And Reading A Letter, Attended By A Negro Page im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 456.000,00 (€ 350.823,20).
