Sold at the upper estimate price
In December 2006 Christies in London held the auction Important Old Master Pictures Day Sale, which included the work A mother and baby in an interior with a young girl and a maid by Pieter de Hooch. The auction ended at the price of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 89,047.51), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pieter de Hooch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Interior With A Child Feeding A Parrot in January 2012 with an auction result of USD 3,666,500.00 (€ 2,808,932.81).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Dezember 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Old Master Pictures Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A mother and baby in an interior with a young girl and a maid von Pieter de Hooch zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 89.047,51) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pieter de Hooch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Interior With A Child Feeding A Parrot im Januar 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.666.500,00 (€ 2.808.932,81).
