Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Emanuel de Witte achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2018. In the Old Masters Evening Sale auction, the work Interior Of A Gothic Protestant Church sold for GBP 237,500.00 (€ 266,289.72) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emanuel de Witte - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Interior of the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam, with a trompe l'oeil curtain and frame, which sold at auction in December 2021 for GBP 500,000.00 (€ 596,395.12).
