A top price for Frans Wouters
In April 2002 Christies in London held the auction The Dr Anton C.R.Dreesmann Collection Old Master Pictures, which included the work The Three Graces by Frans Wouters. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 18,800.00 (€ 30,417.91), 25% above the upper estimate. With this result, The Three Graces is even the most expensive work of art by Frans Wouters that we have observed at auctions so far.
