Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work An Allegory of Lust (Lascivia) by Abraham Janssens was sold in the Virtue auction at Christies in New York in June 2020. Here, the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 137,500.00 (€ 122,428.99). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abraham Janssens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Saint Jerome, which sold at auction in January 2017 for USD 492,500.00 (€ 456,272.00).
