Sold at the lower estimate price
In July 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection, which included the work Two Characters From Popular Theatre: 'Nijkodemus' And 'Muyselaer The Piper' by Andries Both. The result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,564.65) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Andries Both have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Adoration Of The Shepherds in July 2001 with an auction result of GBP 14,100.00 (€ 22,960.83).
