Sold at the lower estimate price
In July 2021 Christies in London held the auction Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours including a Fine Collection of Old Master Prints, which included the work Vegetable market day in a Dutch town by Gerard ter Borch II. The result of GBP 150,000.00 (€ 175,906.10) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00.
