This work of art by Godfried Maes could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolors Including an Important Canadian Collection and a Distinguished Private Collection auction, the work Eighteen Illustrations For Ovid'S Metamorphoses changed hands for USD 43,750.00 (€ 32,207.01) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 80,000.00.
