In June 2002 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction PICTURES, WATERCOLOURS & DRAWINGS INCLUDING FLOWER PICTURES, which included the work Two kittens by Cornelis Raaphorst.

Admittedly, works by Cornelis Raaphorst have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Bird Cage in October 2006 with an auction result of EUR 15,600.00.

Im Juni 2002 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion PICTURES, WATERCOLOURS & DRAWINGS INCLUDING FLOWER PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two kittens von Cornelis Raaphorst zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 2.390,00 und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Cornelis Raaphorst auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Bird Cage im Oktober 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 15.600,00.
