The work A Trompe L'Oeil  With A Painting Of A Vanitas Still Life With A Skull, A Silver Gilt Chalice, A Candlestick, A Flute, Documents And Other Objects Standing On A Wooden Ledge With Paint-Brushes, A Palette And Other Painting Utensils by Franciscus Gijsbrechts was auctioned at Sothebys in Amsterdam in May 2008. It achieved a price of EUR 45,850.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 53 %. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Franciscus Gijsbrechts - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A trompe l'oeil still life of a half-open wall cabinet filled with writing implements, silver gilt dishes, a violin, hunting horn and other objects, which sold at auction in December 2019 for GBP 90,062.00 (€ 106,442.74).
