A top price for Abraham Rutgers
When the work Skaters on the Vecht in winter, with a slanting tree in the foreground by Abraham Rutgers was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 302,500.00 (€ 381,547.61). This high result makes Skaters on the Vecht in winter, with a slanting tree in the foreground the most expensive artwork by Abraham Rutgers that we have observed at auctions so far.
