Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Still Life Of Fruit, Including A Melon, Grapes, Oranges And Peaches, Together With An Artichoke, Celery, Walnuts And Corn, Arranged On A Ledge With Butterflies And Snails Before A Stone Grotto In A Landscape by Cornelis de Heem was sold in the Old Masters Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2016.
