A top price for Adriaen van der Werff - as previously expected
The work The Holy Family With The Infant Saint John The Baptist by Adriaen van der Werff was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2013. The price achieved of USD 458,500.00 (€ 350,561.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Holy Family With The Infant Saint John The Baptist is the most expensive artwork by Adriaen van der Werff that we have observed at auctions so far.
