Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Adoration of the Shepherds by Gerrit van Honthorst was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2010. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,105,250.00 (€ 1,282,086.67) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00.
