Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Cornelis Troost achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2021. In the A Fine Line: Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries auction, the work Scene from Thomas Asselyn’s Farce, 'Jan Claasz., or the Supposed Servant Girl' (Act III, scene VI) sold for GBP 157,500.00 (€ 184,701.41) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 70,000.00.
