注意事项

Christie's charges a Buyer's premium calculated at 23.205% of the hammer price for each lot with a value up to €110,000. If the hammer price of a lot exceeds €110,000 then the premium for the lot is calculated at 23.205% of the first €110,000 plus 11.9% of any amount in excess of €110,000. Buyer's Premium is calculated on this basis for each lot individually.

拍品专文

The sitter married Maarten van der Koog in 1801. She was the daughter of Antoine Jean Rijgersbos and Antoinette Cornelie Rijgersbos, née van der Pauw.

Clasina van Stralen, née Rijgersbos (possibly the aunt of the sitter) was portrayed by Hodges in circa 1799/1800 (see A.C.A.W. Baron van der Feltz, Charles Howard Hodges, 1764-1837, 1982, p. 265, no. 497), a fact that makes the suggestion that the present lot was commissioned for the marriage of the sitter even more likely.
