This artwork by Charles van den Eycken achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in February 2018. In the Fine Old Master & 19th Century European Art auction, the work Belgian three Watchful Kittens sold for USD 25,000.00 (€ 20,473.34) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles van den Eycken - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mischief, which sold at auction in October 2004 for USD 59,750.00 (€ 46,877.45).
