This artwork by Frans Ykens achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2005. In the Old Master Pictures auction, the work The Virgin and Child surrounded by a cartouche of flowers and fruit sold for GBP 13,200.00 (€ 19,537.92) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by Frans Ykens have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Grapes on the vine, whitecurrants, blackberries, cherries and a walnut in a porcelain bowl with peaches, grapes and a walnut on a wooden table ledge with a large white butterfly in December 2002 with an auction result of GBP 77,675.00 (€ 119,235.01).
