In May 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work A fantastical palace with an elegant couple walking in front of a portico by Dirck van Delen. The »bidding war« ended at USD 96,000.00 (€ 77,739.09), 37% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Dirck van Delen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An architectural capriccio with Jephthah and his daughter in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 667,500.00 (€ 612,666.36).

Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A fantastical palace with an elegant couple walking in front of a portico von Dirck van Delen zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 96.000,00 (€ 77.739,09) und damit 37% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Dirck van Delen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An architectural capriccio with Jephthah and his daughter im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 667.500,00 (€ 612.666,36).
