Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Ambrosius Benson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2006. In the Old Master Pictures auction, the work The Virgin and Child sold for GBP 153,600.00 (€ 221,688.21) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ambrosius Benson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mary Magdalene holding an ointment jar in January last year with an auction result of USD 1,956,000.00 (€ 1,744,559.40).
