This artwork by Edward Hicks achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2013. In the Important American Furniture, Folk Art and Prints auction, the work Penn'S Treaty sold for USD 2,546,500.00 (€ 1,874,631.92) - well above the upper estimate of USD 900,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Hicks - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Peaceable Kingdom With The Leopard Of Serenity, which sold at auction in May 2008 for USD 9,673,000.00 (€ 6,216,580.98).
