Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work The Interior Of The Oude Kerk, Amsterdam, From The North Aisle Looking West by Emanuel de Witte. The price achieved of USD 93,750.00 (€ 69,444.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Admittedly, works by Emanuel de Witte have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Interior of the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam, with a trompe l'oeil curtain and frame in December 2021 with an auction result of GBP 500,000.00 (€ 596,395.12).
