Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Cornelis Saftleven was worth EUR 110,500.00 to a buyer in November 2016. This price was achieved in the auction Old Masters & 19th Century Art - including Dutch Impressionism at Christies in Amsterdam and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of EUR 25,000.00 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).
