This artwork by Cornelis de Vos achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2012. In the Old Master Paintings Part II auction, the work Portrait of Bessela Pelgrom, seated three-quarter-length, in a black dress with lace cuffs and ruff, embroidered bodice and gloves, holding a chain sold for USD 182,500.00 (€ 139,814.60) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Cornelis de Vos; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait of a lady, half-length, in a black dress with gold embroidery and a ruff sold at auction in July 2014 with the realized price of GBP 170,500.00 (€ 215,054.11).
