Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Three men in a tavern, one taking snuff by Gerard ter Borch II was sold in the Old Masters Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in July last year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 287,500.00 (€ 343,326.06) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gerard ter Borch II - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Jan Craeyvanger (bapt. 7 September 1641-'died young'), three-quarter-length, in a grey costume with a white collar and a grey mantle, standing with a black hat in his right hand, in a painted oval; Portrait of Willem Craeyvanger (bapt. 31, which sold at auction in May 2009 for EUR 745,000.00.
