A top price for Gerrit Carl François Schouten - as previously expected

The work Arowak Indian Camp, Paramaribo (Surinam) – a diorama by Gerrit Carl François Schouten was sold in the Topographical Pictures including Selections from the Kelton Collection auction at Christies in London in October 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,848.83) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Arowak Indian Camp, Paramaribo (Surinam) – a diorama is the most expensive artwork by Gerrit Carl François Schouten that we have observed at auctions so far.
