Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Willem van Mieris achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in May 2019. In the Old Masters auction, the work Circe Begging Ulysses For Mercy After He Has Resisted Her Drugged Cup sold for GBP 75,000.00 (€ 84,895.51) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00. Admittedly, works by Willem van Mieris have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A trumpeter at a casement window with another figure holding an upturned wine glass in December last year with an auction result of GBP 390,900.00 (€ 441,288.03).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Willem van Mieris erzielte im Mai 2019 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters wurde die Arbeit Circe Begging Ulysses For Mercy After He Has Resisted Her Drugged Cup für GBP 75.000,00 (€ 84.895,51) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 35.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Willem van Mieris auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A trumpeter at a casement window with another figure holding an upturned wine glass im Dezember letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 390.900,00 (€ 441.288,03).
