This artwork by Claude Mellan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2018. In the Old Master Works on Paper: Prints and Drawings for under £5,000 auction, the work La Sainte Face (Veronica's Veil) sold for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,874.14) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Claude Mellan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait D'Henri-Louis Habert De Montmor (1600-1679), which sold at auction in March 2014 for EUR 11,875.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Claude Mellan erzielte im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Works on Paper: Prints and Drawings for under £5,000 wurde die Arbeit La Sainte Face (Veronica's Veil) für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 4.874,14) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.500,00.
