This artwork by Abraham Willemsens achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2003. In the OLD MASTER PICTURES auction, the work The courtyard of a country inn with peasants eating and drinking sold for GBP 17,925.00 (€ 26,181.09) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00.
