This artwork by Alexis de Leeuw achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in January 2008. In the Nineteenth Century European Art auction, the work Figures skating by a windmill; and Skaters by a farmstead on a Dutch waterway sold for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 7,037.85) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alexis de Leeuw; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Winter scene sold at auction in November 2001 with the realized price of GBP 6,110.00 (€ 9,722.93).
