Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
The work A hoard of creatures with the Seven Deadly Sins, before a tavern by Cornelis Saftleven was worth GBP 110,500.00 (€ 151,741.98) to a buyer in April 2015. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & British Paintings at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cornelis Saftleven - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A cat peeping through a fence, which sold at auction in May 2005 for USD 441,600.00 (€ 357,599.81).
