Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Musical Company in an interior by Pieter de Hooch was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2009. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 27,500.00 (€ 21,477.66) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A Musical Company in an interior von Pieter de Hooch kam im Januar 2009 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 27.500,00 (€ 21.477,66) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
