A top price for Cornelis Galle I

This artwork by Cornelis Galle I achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2007. In the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction, the work Venus suckling putti sold for GBP 13,200.00 (€ 19,605.05) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00.
