A top price for Adriaen Coorte

In December 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work Three Peaches On A Stone Ledge, With A Red Admiral Butterfly by Adriaen Coorte. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,442,500.00 (€ 4,431,639.12). With this result, Three Peaches On A Stone Ledge, With A Red Admiral Butterfly is even the most expensive work of art by Adriaen Coorte that we have observed at auctions so far.
