A top price for Abraham Blooteling - as previously expected
The work Amor and Psyche by Abraham Blooteling was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2019. The price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,477.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Amor and Psyche is the most expensive artwork by Abraham Blooteling that we have observed at auctions so far.
