Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An elegant couple playing music on a terrace looking out over a canal, with a maid pouring wine by Pieter de Hooch was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2015. It changed hands for a price of EUR 9,375.00 achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of EUR 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit An elegant couple playing music on a terrace looking out over a canal, with a maid pouring wine von Pieter de Hooch kam im Juni 2015 bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von EUR 9.375,00 den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von EUR 7.000,00 – 10.000,00. 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).
