In July 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master Drawings, which included the work St. Benedict'S Vision Of The Apotheosis Of St Germain by Charles Mellin. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,250.00 (€ 14,293.25), 41% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Mellin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tête De Sainte, which sold at auction in June 2015 for EUR 40,000.00.

Im Juli 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit St. Benedict'S Vision Of The Apotheosis Of St Germain von Charles Mellin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 14.293,25) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Mellin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tête De Sainte beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für EUR 40.000,00 versteigert wurde.
