In January last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings Part II, which included the work A pope saint holding a chalice by Charles Mellin. Here, the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 30,240.00 (€ 26,971.10). Other works by Charles Mellin have achieved even higher prices, we observed the highest auction result so far of EUR 40,000.00 in June 2015 for the work Tête De Sainte.
