The work The Good Samaritan by Hans Bol was sold in the Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries auction at Sothebys in New York in January last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 113,400.00 (€ 101,141.63), 62% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hans Bol - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Elegant Hunting Party Before The Abbey Of Rouge-Cloître, Near Brussels, which sold at auction in July 2011 for GBP 241,250.00 (€ 276,870.47).
